Who's Setting Eggs This Week[end]? [August 8-14]

Yep. I saw dark spots and/or veins in all 7 eggs

Hooray!

So excited for this hatch :)
 
Wow. So now that the brinsea is up and running, I don't have anything to do but watch! Everything else is automated! lol. Boooorrrrriiiinnnngggg. Lmao,

At least I don't have to worry about any temp spikes at night anymore, that's a relief! I used to wake up panicking that I'd have a spike in the night.
 
Things are going swimmingly here. Candling on Sunday prior to lockdown, and then I am swearing to myself to not open the incubator for 5 days.

Then where am I gonna put these chicks?! I have two bunches already. Luckily, one dozen is for a friend, so I have to brood them until I can deliver them to her. The rest stay here. Eek.

I have to get started on a second coop. That is all there is to it. I bought myself tools a week ago and a saw today. I have no excuse except my kids require constant vigilance or they do crazy things.
 
looks like my last box of hatching eggs I got :(
Ugh. My replacement incubator got here this afternoon....and the box looks like someone ran it over and than wrapped it in masking tape. I've already filed a claim with UPS, and the incubator seems to be working fine, but it's a delicate piece of equipment and I'm not sure if it's going to work right, or if it's going to crap out on me after some time because the electronic part of it was damaged.

I'm so frustrated, it seems like I can't get anything delivered in one piece recently.




 
Day 11 and disaster has struck! My incubator bulb packed up so therefore no heat has been produced. I don't know how long it was out, could be 6 hours, could be 15 mins. I've got the temp stable again now but I'm thinking I will probably have lost the lot.
I'm leaving them in and will continue as normal until the end just to make sure but I'm not hopeful. I'm devastated!
