I'll hatch with you. I have 30 bantam cochins and 11 Easter egger mutts on day 4. I have a thread on here titled setting eggs 1-18-12 looking for hatch buddies. you can join in there with us if you like. Lots of people joined it.
good luck, keep us posted.

I am on day 4. I already candled a few and they're doing good. I saw one I know is clear and several I know are making babies!
What type of incubator are you using? I have a home made which is one I built last year that I tore up and built again this year into a bigger cooler. This is my first hatch in it. Thanks for joining my thread.
