Jan 16, 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[Katix7]

New to the site but saw several hatch a long threads - so fun! I plan to collect some eggs this week and get them in the incubator on Sunday. Would anyone like to join? Most of mine will be barred rock and Buff orpingtons…some will be mixed…i have 5 very busy roosters and 50 hens

My first time using the incubator i didn’t do any candle/light checking. Just put the eggs in and let the machine do the rest. Had 15 of 16 hatch - not bad! But now I’m wondering if some of that was beginners luck. Might do some candling - luckily tons of folks on here post about everything so there will be much research for me to do this week.
