I have 5 eggs under a broody Silkie, some EE eggs in the bator and hopefully I can find some fertile eggs soon to put under my broody standard Cochin.
 
I'm on my 3rd hatching

1st hatch: 29/33 eggs Barred Rock and NHR and two unknown
2nd hatch: 2/15 eggs that came scrambled from the PO 2 EE's
3rd hatch: ?? in the bator now 14 eggs from MissP and 1 egg of mine

I agree Miss Prissy!! My 'season' started last June, when I bought my first bator!!

This year I have hatched over 70, if you count quail chicks

WOW I feel like a slacker. I have 4 EE with 6 pips. Will be moving probably 12-13 Buckeyes into the hatcher and they will be due in 2 wks. and gathering about 18 more EE eggs for the bator end of the wk. The I was going to quit for the season.
 
I know what you mean, chickapooh. We are slackers!

I just finished my first hatch. It wasnt very good, 24 out of 41 fertile. Many died early in incubation due to (I think) high temps because I was using the thermometer that came with the bator.

And I had two die after hatching with disabilities, and one more that is questionable. I was thrilled anyway, but I know those are bad percentages for you folks.
