54!!!! Total barring any accidents. Some are dirty but that's ok. Several were from a hen that hid a nest. If they don't hatch it's ok. Point is my husband is going to KILL ME!!!

Exactly!

They try so hard to hide it lol

LOL well he did bring 6 chicks home so if he brings up all the eggs, you can bring up all the chicks!

I placed 8 eggs under my little broody hen.

True. None are from my girls. Most are from my friend who wants some babies and will pay me for each live from her eggs and the rest are from chattery41 who ever so kindly sent me 14...2 cracked.... Because I was going to bow out of the hatch. The ones from my friend is because her incubator went out after one day when she set.

@mlm Mike

Ok they have started. I've set 38

24 Orpington's
14 project birds.

And the weather is bringing in the biggest storm we've had in quite awhile. Wind gust up to 60 mph. Generator is ready.

Okay, hopefully all of my eggs are set now! There's a chance I might add more tomorrow, if two of my hens will cooperate, but I'm going to try really hard to resist.

All eggs from my own flock. In the Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco I have 9; 6 from my SLW hen and mixed breed rooster, and 3 from my best laying mixed breed hen, and the same mixed breed rooster. I'll be turning these by hand.



In my Brinsea Mini Advanced I have 5 eggs. These are from 3 Delaware hens, and the son of the SLW hen and mixed up rooster from above. So I guess he's a mixed breed rooster too. He's also an Alumni from last year's Easter HAL.



So, I guess that means I've set 14 eggs for this years HAL. Since I have room for 12 chicks, that all makes good sense.

The good news is you will get to see a early hatch on the 9 th. I have about 30 good viable ones I just candled in my 1st bator. Set to hatch on the 9th. First time I candles I never candle. But always get pretty good hatch rates. Thirty out of 45 isn't great but I'll take it. I been checking my second bator with my rare Orust eggs like every chance I get. I have 3 thermometers that do humidity also. Plus the digital thermometer gage it came with. I'm treating these eggs like baby's. So hopefully y'all will get to see some Orust chicks hatching for the hatch along.
