Crab Apples! I forget how long they incubate for, its been years. Did i post a picture of my new incubator? My memory is shot. Dr thinks its due to lack of sleep.

I'd say! My P.O. is also very accommodating. They see a box that looks like eggs..they call me. They hold them up front by the registers. Those eggs look nice...crossing fingers for you. I have one more day to collect. Then, I'll set them tomorrow. I have some of these from my back yard in right now..some go into lock down Mon. Then, Tues. Then Wed. I didn't wait to put them all together. We will see what happens. So far, all of the 12 I have put in, 11 are going great! I am so excited to see what my green eggs hatch out to be. They are from my Nn girl.

I have 3 new roosters that are being checked for fertility this hatch. A few from each and the 12 from Florida will fill the incubator. Probably tomorrow as they will have rested from their journey for 24 hours by then.
Nice eggs from NN. I don’t have NN anymore as they just weren’t doing too well both in size and eggs.
