NOTE: I changed the theme of the hatch-along, as getting the garden going in the desert of Arizona has been high on the list of chores right now. I forgot that many offer 'adoption' of the eggs. Oops! So yes, let's name these little guys using a desert garden theme!
Bring on the Chicken Math!
Ahem...
So, I'm running a hatch-along in a library where I work. I ordered Swedish Flower Hen hatching eggs from 2 different farms. Both farms put extras in the boxes. Which meant that I completely filled up my Maticoopx 20-egg incubator. But I had 7 eggs left over.
I felt horrible that 7 possible chicks weren't going to get a chance at life. So, naturally I quickly ordered another of the same incubator! I kept the eggs cool, tilted them several times a day, and on Sunday the new (second) incubator arrived. I now have it set up with the last remaining 7 eggs nestled inside.
So, here we go. 7 Swedish Flower Hen eggs in the incubator about 4 days after all the other eggs were put into the library incubator. I candled all the eggs and managed to get 4 photos of the results:
NOTE: Eggs 1-20 are incubating at the library.
Eggs 21-27 are incubating at home.
Library:
Eggs at home, a little after 24 hours of incubation:
Egg #21
Egg #22
Egg #24
Egg #25

UK. Good luck 
with your hatch 
. Ive just candled 50, first batch of the year, I usually Candle at around 9 days. The air here is humid enough to be able to do a dry hatch, up to the 19th Lockdown day.
