Warming the bator up today...

[pdsavage]

Gonna try a second time hope at least one hatches,first time none hatched.
Just gonna hatch some of my own this time and bought a digital hydrometer/thermometer this time.
So if none hatch out this time ill proubly sell the bator and stuff.....

Wishing you tons of luck!

When do you plan to put your eggs in? I'm asking because I am warming my bator up as we I type also! Will be loading mine tonight with a dozen of MissPrissy's BBS eggs and a dozen of AussieSharon's Welsummer eggs.

Good luck, and don't give up. Keep a log of your temps, and humidity, and candleing so that if you don't get a hatch you can look back over it and figure out what went wrong. Sometimes it takes a little to get all the kinks worked out, but you can do it!

Ill proubly put eggs in tommorow,mostly bantam eggs and 1 EE egg and 1 BR egg.
Last time my Bantam eggs some developed all the way but didnt hatch,thats why I bought the digital hydrometer/thermometer.
instead of hand turning them im gonna try the egg carton method...

Aww! Don't give up!! It's truly a learning experience! IT took me quite awhile to learn my bator well enough to get the 90% plus hatches I am now- seriously.
Are you sure the eggs are fertile?

I know Miss Jayne and Shelly will help me, help you...

What kind of bator do you have? Let's walk you through it, ok??

that happened with me too! my first time it didn't hatch nothing but that was a homemade incubator a real bad one! but this time I bought an incubator and trying to clear the errors that I did last time and now everything is doing good. Im at day 6 just 2 weeks and 1 day more (Hope time goes faster) and I whish you lots of LUCK! I have the same thing "hope at least one hatches" from 8 eggs

Our hatch days will be the same then!

The hygrometer will help you a whole lot, so you can monitor the humidity. The egg carton method will help things go more smoothly also. It won't be as time consuming with turning the eggs.

My fingers are crossed that you will have a great hatch this time!

Ooooh, good luck! I just started up my incubator today too, so we're going to be pretty much on the same schedule !
