ok so i've been back in the chicken game for about 3 weeks... and thought of this brilliant idea of hatching eggs.. my neighbors have an incubator (well 2) and i wanted to hatch some chickens.... we found someone that had blue laced red eggs.. so we ordered a dozen to be shipped....
since then, i have taken in 34 guinea eggs- from my neighbors that found a nest.. they are my practice run in the bator. last time i used an incubator i used a reptile one (not gonna lie, not the best results... broody won that year) but thos time I have a hovebator and a little giant.
im freaking out about getting the shipped eggs. I know i need to wait at least 24-48 hours.. let them set, then put the in the incubator and let them bake with out turning for another 2 days? then go to day 19 and stop turning again...
eek.
