Who is hatching around the 11th?

[Cherlyn]

Just set four buff orpington eggs at 1100 on the 22nd. Yay! We have two light sussex hens in the backyard already.

Temp holding steady at 100, humidity 40-45%, using manual incubator so turning the eggs myself 2-3 times each day.

Hi... i'm with you..my BCM are due on the 11 or 12. I set them about 11:30 PM on the 21st., so I'm counting the 22nd as the 1st day. I have 7 eggs in a LG with fan, but I'm hand turning 3 times a day. This is my first try with an incubator. I started out with a broody silky, but she couldn't decide if she wanted to sit or not. I'm keeping my temp. at 99.5, but I don't know the humidity. hope it all works out. Good luck to us both

You should definitely pick up a hygrometer so you can keep tabs on your humidity!

Best of you luck to you; upload photos of them as they grow!
