Trying Again

Ok, Ok, so we are trying again! lol we have 36 eggs! We bought them from the coolest farm! Soul Shine ranch. http://www.soulshineranch.com/
So we have an assortment of different eggs. I can't wait to see what hatches. I also have 12 baby chicks in my basement. lol they are messy and smelly, and getting louder. But the kids think they are pretty cool. It is going to be a blast for them to see the babies pop out of their shells. We have a different incubator. Our friend Tracy needed to hatch some eggs of her own. But we were so grateful for the chance to use it to begin with! THANK YOU Tracy!!! xoxox
So the incubator we are borrowing now is the same one Promise's class used. I am trying a new system too. I have placed the eggs in egg cartons (cardboard) and I loaded up the bottom with sponges. Then I put the lid on and I am using a 2x4 under the whole incubator and moving it 3 times a day.... I really hope this helps to maybe keep the heat and humidity more consistent. So HOPEFULLY a better hatch. Can't do much worse then none? I think think I may have had a faulty thermometer. This time I have 3 in there!!! Today is Day one... so I will take some pictures and keep you all posted! Fun Fun!
