Whoo Hoo!
I had 14 little fuzzies when I left the house this morning! 2 Golden Comets, 1 Partridge Cochin, 2 silkie/frizzles, 1 Buff Brahma and 8 Black Copper Marans! Still more were pipped, hope they're hatched when I get home - I have a tough time leaving them alone! Now I hope they're not ALL roosters!
I have a Genesis 1588, and finally got it set to the "original factory setting" (It was not set correctly when I got it, one of the switches was in the wrong setting, so temps were messed up the last 2 times) and I used the one water tray on the directions, and just trusted it to be right. This has been a better hatch for me all the way around, despite scrambled/shipped eggs (except I got the Black Copper Marans, Sizzle and Partridge cochin locally)...the Golden Comets and Buff Brahma were tough to count on - only two Buff Brahma developed out of 12, and the Golden Comets were a mess, only 8 even developed this far. These little guys were unsupervised during our 5 day evacuation/fire scare, but the Genesis with the egg turner in it is so self-sufficient, it did all the work itself! Yay for miracles!
Happy Hatches!
