These are the eggs we are setting for the hatch April 8, 2010. I will be tracking weights in addition to candling and tracking the air cell and development. I have made a new chart for this and need to see if by adjusting the humidity according the the growth of the air cell and weight if I can improve my hatch rates. If this hatch works out; I will have almost tripled our flock. in just a few months.

March Hatching
We set 27 eggs on Valentine's Day in the incubator, due to hatch March 7th if the temperatures hold steady.
This is a mixed batch of eggs, collected for 24 hours from our hens. The resulting chicks will be added to the Laying Flock at our little farm.
