Wow. You've really outdone yourself this time! You should be hoping the ones I gave you don't all hatch, right?!?!?Just set those eggs from Ace. Altogether now I have 43 in one bator, 15 in another starting to hatch from Sphinx. 58 eggs....what was I thinking? Needless to say If anyone wants chicks.....we will have SBEL 1st generation, SBEL 2nd generation for sale. I think the others are mostly spoken for but there will be just a couple for sale of the OE, FBCM, Icelandics, and some possible mixes from Ace. I hear cheeping and the eggs from Sphinx are not due until Monday. It seems like mine always hatch early, so I lowered the temp .5 this time around to see if that was the prob. I guess not? Any other ideas why they keep hatching early?
Silly--you know how you were worried about your eggs dipping to 95? My bator came unplugged and when I found out they were at 77 degrees, I was SO Worried! I think it was unplugged for 4 hours. I candled two days later and they were all still moving....so 95 should be no problem at all. I really don't have problems with hatches that have dipped pretty low, but I definitely have had problems with batches that spike to hot.

I just checked the other 8 eggs, 2 pipped internally and drowned, the other 6 were duds. so 7 chicks it is! Anybody want the chick that had the Polish mom and the FBCM dad? You are welcome to have it. I will likely keep the FBCM and 2 OE and hope there are some girls--2 already look really boyish though.
6kids farms, are you selling any of the chicks you are hatching from Sphinx?
