I got my day count wrong as I counted the 21 days from the day I put the eggs in the incubator and I should have counted from 24 hours after that I believe as the egg has to reach core temp before anything happens.

So today is the day we hope. One silkie egg has pipped just waiting to see what happens with the sussex/silkie cross eggs. I had stopped turning them on Thusday as I expected them to hatch on Sunday. Will that have a big affect? :(

The silkie egg from the original 4 eggs has now hatched 12.30pm Easter MOnday. A real easter chick. :-D :-D

This was one of the eggs I originally set in the incubator. Incubated from start to finish. :-D

All 3 sussex/silkie cross eggs have now pipped. Hopefully three babies soon. That will give me 4 out of 4 for my first incubator hatching. My lot must be a fertile lot :-D :-D

Out of my 4 eggs I put in to test my new incubator I have 4 beautiful little chicks. I must have got something right. 100% hatch rate :-D :-D [smilie=rlp_smilie_242.gif]

I am really please with the R-com 20 incubator I bought. It took me awhile to get the temp and humidity exactly right in relation to what was showing on the panel (to calibrate it exactly right). It is really easy to use as it has auto turn. I only have to remember to stop the turning and up the humidity at day 18. It is only a small incubator as I only want to hatch small batches.

I would recommend this incubator to anyone only wanting small hatches. It is really good. Now all I have to do is wait for the bredding season and get some fertile eggs of the type I really want.

I have a load of silkie eggs currently in the incubator waiting. I will candel tomorrow now the babies have hatched and hope I haven't upset things toomuch by upping the humidity to hatch these 4.

Thanks guys,

I have posted photos of my new babies. They are so cute :!:

Hey when they sleep they flat out on their bellies with their head to the side. Gave me a fright the first time I saw it I thought they had died :-?
