Finally fully jumped into the chicken bizz! We have been collecting eggs for the past couple of days in anticipation of receiving the incubator today. UPS showed up around noon and we immediately got to work setting it up and loading in the eggs! We set Black, Silver Laced and Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. It will be so exciting to hear our own little peeps in 21 days! For anyone interested in hatching their own eggs, I found the best deal with Murray McMurray Hatchery. I ordered the incubator with the fan, automatic thermostat and automatic egg turner. Total cost with shipping was about $200. That was substantially cheaper than anywhere else. We will be candling the eggs in 8 days to see how many viable eggs we have.
