well we can see it on FB right? everyone is on there anyway...

where on FB is everybody?

I wish there was a Chat Room to go to. It makes it much much easier. I used to be on this horse forum and they had a chat room and just people invited could be in it and you could just type back and forth to each other.... so much faster and easier,

QJ and DG you both have a LG still air incubator right? How many eggs can you get in there? I am suppose to be getting about 22 WH eggs, 4 brown or white Chinese geese eggs, and I don't know how many or what kind of chicken eggs next week. And if they won't all fit hubby said I need to go buy a new one. What should I get????

I have the LG forced air. I think it holds 42 in that automatic turner. Ya know, I would just get one of those again if I had too. I think it's done a good job. Did you check Craigslist?

Hello ladies! I read the first 160 pages of this thread before I realized that you were adding more pages faster than I could read! It was really neat watching you all 'get to know each other' and share in each others ups and downs! So, tonight when I had a bit of excitement, and my hubby was already sleeping, I knew who would appreciate it! You!!

Ok, so this is the first time I have ever incubated anything, and I didn't know that shipped eggs can have the air cell problem...or that it was a problem until about a week ago. So, at that point I found one of those plastic camping egg trays and put them all in with their blunt ends tipped up. I was worried that because I had not caught it until well into the incubation process that it would be a problem. I am still a bit worried because out of the 12 eggs, 10 have some degree of displacement, with 3 or 4 having severely messed up air cells. BUT.....tonight and I was closing up for the night, I walked past the incubator and peeked in (no, I didn't open it!!). I was so excited to hear all kinds of little ticking noises!! Then I heard a little tiny 'peep peep'!! I am soooo excited! Tomorrow is day 28. I know this is when it gets hard because you have to be patient...sooooo patient. So, I am gonna try ever so hard to be patient!

Ok, there you go. Had to share with someone who would appreciate it! Gonna walk with me through the process? I am a busy homeschooling mom of 5 kiddos, and hubby works from home, so I don't get too much time to sit at the computer, but I am hoping to keep up with you guys as much as I can!

Great. It is 1am and now I wanna stay up and listen to my duckies. I know, I know...get some rest, its gonna be a while!

Nice to meet you all!
