incubating eggs

We started our incubator!
We have a selection of blue wyandotte, hamburg / wyandotte and I think brahma's that look like columbian wyandottes - thank you, friends for donating fertile eggs!

I've been watching the temperature like a hawk...

Simultaneously, school is hatching a dozen of Khaki Campbell duck eggs and a half dozen of American Buff goose eggs from our flock. Emily the goose mom started her own nest, with seven eggs last I could count, we'll see who'll has the best hatching rate - the goose or the preschoolers :)
 
For more info on incubating - it either goes completely fine, or completely wrong is my experience - check out the Hova-Bator manual at (if this link does not work, use a google search):
