When you say hatcher? is it a different type of incubator? Or do you mean lockdown. Thanks just trying to understand the lingo.

Cheryl - It's an incubator that I use to hatch only (remove the egg turner). I use a regular incubator with turner through day 18. Hope that made sense.

got it, you're just at a very different level than a little hatcher like me!

I use my little king suro till they hatch and then put them in a hovabator to get stronger and dry out, thx for the info.

Would it be way too cheesy to call the babies we're all getting from Joy "Royal Blue" Orpingtons?
Like the crayon.

Well that and the fact that they're imports from the UK.

ETA: How are those eggs Joy?
