I thought of that to. I just set mine up and ran it for a the weekend to make sure the turner really did turn etc. I have been offered some various eggs, they are mystery eggs actually from a local gal. I am torn though because what to do with mixed chicks and at this time of year and if the quality is not all that then is it really a proper test of the incubator? Some may not hatch anyway and I would not know if I had done something wrong. So here I sit with a brand new Genesis 1588 w/auto egg turner and no eggs cooking. Um I guess you could say I totally get your nervous nelly feeling.

Oh so lucky to have a real incubator lol. I'm working with a home made Styrofoam incubator that needs constant tweaking and careful watching so this test run is more for the experience in watching the temp/humidity and figuring out how to get everything to work right and maintain at a steady reading. The eggs are in there just to get me in the habit of turning for when I really go to hatch quality eggs.

Luckily/unluckily when we rehomed two of our roosters the family that took one managed to sweet talk me out of a few hens as well so I am down in laying hens. Only about 6 that are laying, 4 that are about to start laying, and about 7 babies ranging from 3 to 14 weeks old. So I am down a lot in laying hens. If any babies manage to hatch they will be a warm welcome into the flock, especially since the RIR x BCM crosses lay surprisingly well for us.
 
Is this a boy or girl?

What!?!? That's a silver laced Wyandotte and it looks to be a little older than 4 months and it looks to be a male.

I disagree. I do think it is a Silver Laced Wyandotte, but I think it is a female. Males have a black neck band on the back of the neck....yours looks like it has too much white there. 1st photo is male.....see the solid black area right behind the neck?

This one is female....no black area. (Neither bird is a good quality Silver Laced, though....very poor lacing)
