Day 21 on my 4th batch. 9 set 7 hatched 2 dead in shell. I am a newbie. This is my first year and I made my own cabinet incubator. So far my hatch rates are about 70 %. All the eggs are from my chickens except some marans eggs due later this month. After I had my first hatch, I started setting eggs every sunday. Set 12 today. So far I am up to batch 11 with what I set today. All are Araucana and Araucana X EE eggs. I can't seem to stop. (Someone make me stop) No Don't.
Dot is on Day 20 so if she is successful, we will know in a couple of days. I tried to candle a couple of eggs but I am not sure I did it right. Couldn't see a darn thing. So two eggs have little pecks that are from the inside out and the rest might be duds. Dot is still sitting on them.
