Hatch Day should be Feb. 27

36 eggs... 4 Bantan mixes, 4 Easter Egger mixes, 25 Buff Orpingtons, 2 RIR mixes and 1 ? (not sure if its RIR or BO)

It Arrived Today...

My very own Hova-Bator... yeehawwww

Brian ordered this for me earlier in the week and I've been collecting eggs to go in it for my 1st hatch. I've been reading on this and have wanted a incubator since I got chickens (almost a year ago). I'm so happy I could scream and I did when the kids told me it came in today! I'm alittle scared but I think I'll be fine... we got it up and running, its almost to 100 degrees. I'm thinking by tomorrow evening I should be able to put the eggs in and start the count down!
Stay Tuned...

We went ahead and got the automatic egg turner too. I didnt want to have to worry about turning the eggs 3 times a day.

I've got 26 Buff Orpington, 3 Easter Egger and 3 bantam eggs waiting...
I think I will added 2 more eggs to the batch tomorrow.
