24 hour update:

Only had two of the four eggs that made it to lock down hatch so 50% hatch....but that was out of a dozen originally shipped to me. Boy that shipped egg lesson was drilled in deep on me and NEVER again. Just going to have to live with whatever breeds I can find within a decent drive from now on.....but on that front....hubby's comforting words today were "You sure do need to set a lot of eggs to get a few healthy chicks. Maybe you should get another dozen and try again?" Consider me officially enabled!!!

Here are the twins which turn out to be one silver laced black and one buff laced Wyandotte.

Here is the last baby that caused a few more gray hairs now standing with flat feet :

Heading to the states at Easter so not sure if I'll do another hatch-a-long right away or in the summer but I WILL be back!

I went up to take a look, good thing there are windows. Outside digital said 99.5, inside one of my thermometers said 94 and one other one also had that range, I turned up the temp with the red buttons, now checking back, 2 inside ones read 100. I hope it wasn't reading 94 for that for long.

Did you calibrate your glass thermometers so you know which one to rely on?

So far 8 out of 21 eggs have hatched. I am waiting impatiently for the rest but I’m enjoying these eight.

So far out of my 8 olive egger eggs, 5 have hatched. Out of those 5 it’s apparent that the father is my white leghorn NOT my olive egger roo .

Uh oh, how do you know it's the Leghorn? Are they all white?
