I've already been shopping for hatching eggs! my most favorite official hatch-along because it was my first one!

So got some eggs ordered and I hope they get here by the 9th or 10th. Got Belgium Bearded Barbu D'anver Bantam, Silver Sebrights, Dutch bantams and I hope some Rose Comb bantams. All through ebay.

Edit: 36 eggs on the way. Wasn't sure I would win any and I won them all.

Florida should be a good place for year round hatching!

Yeah just can’t put them outside at the time usually do now. It’s supposed to get into the 50s Wednesday and Thursday

How exciting! I'm gonna set some Muscovy eggs!

How are the eggs looking now?

My hatch kinda failed I got 16 out of 36 eggs and I think only 5 more are going to hatch

Nice! I might end up setting some eggs still probably tomorrow or the next day

My eggs always hatch on time.
I count today as day 1.
Mine will hatch the day before Halloween.
I didn't want to wait one more day to set these.

I guess I will wait and see the fridge eggs tomorrow so if they do develop they would hatch on Halloween.

All clears have been pulled.
Other 17 look like this...

Just set eggs this morning- might add more this afternoon depending on who lays-
9 of my bantam eggs (Either oegb/sebright cross or pure of each) I have both an oegb and a sebright roo, and also sebright and oegb hens.
4 Orpington eggs which I'm not sure are fertile, if they are they are from a blue ameraucana rooster.
and 2 CCL eggs, also will come from the blue ameraucana roo. Also not sure are fertile. My ameraucana roo doesn't do his job I've noticed.

So I did add more eggs,
I have 10 bantam eggs set 10/10.
1 silkie egg set 10/11
3 bantams eggs set 10/12
2 bantam eggs set 10/13
2 bantams eggs set 10/15, and 3 SF eggs (surprisingly fertile) set 10/15 as well.
-
My original eggs, the 2 CCL eggs were infertile, and so were the 4 orpington eggs. Tried adding more and they weren't fertile either.
Surprisingly i decided to try my salmon faverolles eggs and they were fertile.
(Grey beard my blue ameraucana roo is the father still.)
