I'm so excited now that I witnessed the hatching of my last egg on my first ever hatch, and these eggs were laid by my own first flock! And on the night before Easter! I had no clue what a hatch along was when I tried to set them to hatch for Easter haha it's been a heck of an experience
I have a 35$ cheapo incubator for my first hatch, 10 out of 12 eggs have embryos and I'm on day 18. I've seen reviews of this one with fluffy chicks running around inside that also had ducks in the same batch so I think I'm good but there's no obvious ventilation. Unless the lip around the dome...
I had 12 eggs in my truck incubator and my Candled them last night and only one out of 12 had no development! Pretty exciting for my first ever hatch and the hens the eggs came from aren't even 6 mo old yet! Also no complaints about the Amazon 35$ incubator
I've googled and used info off this page so many times I figured I might as well join! I'm about a 10ish month chicken owner maybe less so far. Got eggs in an incubator already!
