Any Eggs in Incubators out there for the New Year?

bantamhill:
I just put my first batch of three dozen eggs in the incubator tonight. A few bantams (buff, F1 lavender cross, wheaten, blue wheaten) and a few large fowl (buff, white, black) in an assortment of varieties. We are supposed to have a stretch of decent weather this week, so I hope for more eggs to set next weekend!

Holy cow!
  I haven\'t even got my flock separated into breeding pens yet.....You are so far ahead of me!  Michael, save me out some blues or black std eggs....I need some new blood.  Either or, doesn\'t matter.  I\'ll catch you in Sedalia.

grisaboy:
I put some eggs in the incubator on Saturday.

Mostly Silver Bantams and Silver Bantam crosses.
Some white bantams
and a couple eggs from the Lavendar cross.

  We set our first GQF with 166 black, blue & splash and 23 wheatens, blue wheaten and splash wheaten eggs on Jan. 2nd.  We are running several weeks behind due to the heat hanging around so long.  It was 104º Sept. 28, 2005.  We didn\'t get the breeding pens set-up until late Oct. into Nov. because it was too hot to have the birds penned.
  It\'s been in the 80\'s lately and the girls are starting to lay well so we should soon start setting full incubators which are 288 eggs.  We will set one every other Monday except moved to Tuesday for hatches on holidays.  Our last hatch is scheduled for May 15.  It usually starts getting to warm for the PO to accept lives the last of May.

John:
I plan to set up the breeding pens this weekend and start hatching in March.   That is pushing it for this mid west climate.  The first two hatches will be mine then I\'ll hatch for up to 10 weeks to fill orders.  Last year I sold out.  When I\'m in full swing I\'ll have 3 GQF incubators, 1 Leahy incubator and 2 GQF hatchers running.  I can\'t hardly wait to see the electric bill!
