Who is hatching on the 29TH Hatch with us

[starryeyes]

So i have a hova bator with egg turner used it for my first hatch which was just a few weeks ago. I decided i want to kick it up a notch and hatch way more at a time. So got hubby to make me a huge cabnet bator that can hold over 200 eggs. So after 4 or 5 days of working out the kinks it is runing great. Eleven dozen chicken eggs went in some were getting on the old side like a month old so I knew I would loose a bunch plus at the begening we had a temp spike of 106. So two days ago did a major toss had like 4 dozen that were either blood rings are non fertile I was bumed. So even though I swore I would never do a stagered hatch i threw more in 8 silkie eggs which I realy hope are fertile and more sex links. So now I have10 dozen eggs in bator. So 7 doz are 7 dozen are due May 29th. I also have 37 rouen eggs in the hova bator. So anyone who wants to join us post away and share what you are hatching and your progress. Good luck

I have a dozen eggs under a broody due to hatch on the 30th. So far at least 10 are thriving, and one of the other 2 is too dark to tell.

Mine will go eat and drink. I actually am thinking that it's 2 austrolorpes sitting on them now. Last year I had one go broody, and another became broody toward the end, and both coparented the clutch. It was soo cute seeing to mommies ushering the chicks. I think my second just became broody, so I'm getting her, her own eggs.
