Year Round Hatchers (Year Round Hatch a long)

[FortCluck]

I'm so excited for this! Charging up my laptop and then I'll check out the spreadsheet.

In general, though, I am running a magicfly Janoel 12 and a Brinsea Mini Advance II. Thinking about picking up a nurture right 360 as well, but I need to wait until April probably so I dont overwhelm my husband

I had to make a special notebook just for this thread I have more ducks hatching so I've been trying to get things done while they hatch.

I'm probably going to be sticking more chicken eggs in soon since all the ones I set are fertile

A prize would be neat. Can it be more hatching eggs? kidding. Unless.......

Maybe something small but related to incubating? Candler, hygrometer, etc.

Honestly hatching eggs would be a nice one. I'd get them shipped from a breeder someone knows that NPIP.

Can I join? I don't hatch year-round, but I have staggered hatches all season from February to July.

Yes!!!! I'm excited you're joining. I always love seeing your pics and such.

We realized that a bunch of us hatch way too much and we wanted to put it in a thread so that we can keep all of our numbers on file in one spot.

I'm using a new cabinet incubator I made out of a cooler this winter. I've set one batch of 28 quail eggs so far, I think 25 of them hatched. I intended to set for the EHAL, but I'm not sure my bantams will lay by then.

That would be cool! I only know one breeder with NPIP, the more experienced folks probably know more!

One day I'd like to be NPIP certified myself. Baby steps, though.

I saw that incubator and I loved it!

My bantams I got from TSC are whacked. They were picking on my poor duck yesterday so I had to move him to his own brooder. The bantams wouldn't use the heat plate either finally they're using it though

Yeah I don't want to do hatchery eggs. I want nice eggs to be delivered not that hatcheries aren't nice but breeders have better birds overall.

I won't count myself in the prize part to make it fair.

Oh wow that just made my heart sad

Are you using all of the incubators now or just 1 type for the 3?

I will be using them all, but currently just the 2370s. As things progress, I'll need the third and fourth for incubating and then the hatcher. Probably this weekend.

Forgot the rest of the info:
Chicken eggs, from my home flock
North-Central IL
Aiming for 50% humidity incubation and 60% lockdown.
