The eggs are in the bator!!! First hatch!!!

[startingaflock]

I put my first 25 eggs in the bator today. I set 9 chantecler, 7 chantecler X dominiques and 9 chantecler X white ameraucaunas. Wish me luck as these are the first eggs we've ever set. So far, so good as far as temp and humidity go!!!

Here's wishing you luck , and in case you didn't know, the 21st thru 27th is most favorable for setting eggs according to Farmer's Almanac. May not make a difference, but hey, every little bit of help is needed when you incubate eggs.
If my plans come together like I want, I'll have 24-28 mixed colors guinea eggs set by Saturday, the last favorable day this month. Good Luck, Larry

Thanks Larry! I didn't know anything about the farmer's almanac thing. The reason that I put them in now is that they will hatch (hopefully) during March break. I have that week off and my oldest son will be home from school so will be able to see them hatch as well.

One bit of advise I learnt the hard way with my first hatch. If the power goes out for a while the eggs may still hatch don't toss them assuming they wont hatch.
