Congratulations! This is so much fun isn't it? We've got 12 hatched out of 31 so far.

What kind of bator did you use? Any tips for other first-timers?

 

[v.cyr]

Wouldn’t feel right giving tips… still green myself… our incubator is the one they sell at TSC for 40 some dollars… no turner yet…

That's encouraging! I'm about to set my first eggs and I bought a Brinsea Eco, but it doesn't have a turner and that was making me nervous! So glad to hear you were successful without one!

Cute pics. Don't worry about not having a turner. I've not had one in years. I like to handturn. Once I turned 80 quail eggs. I was very fast and used both hands at the same time.
