2. 4 goose eggs
3. mixture of runner duck, appleyard and aylesbury, approximately 20, all fertile. due to hatch next week.Soo excited!
4. white pekins, mix colour silkies, columbian brahma, buff orpington, sablepoots. about 30 all in all but they have only been in 4 days so this number will reduce when I candle.

Well Ive got cream legbars, festhers maran x (very excited by those two), hybrids, and a couple of banty which are either cuckoo wyandotte or cw x black plymouth rock. And as soon as they come out I'll be reloading.
Anyone got a spare inci?

I only have Khaki and White Campbell ducks in mine at the moment, due to hatch around Saturday. Then I'll put a load of Indian Game in and see what's on offer at the poultry sale on Sat.

I've got a few Light Sussex and Buff Orpington due to hatch next week although LS not looking too good - possibly only two coming out of four (these are bought in eggs).
I've also got 4 lots of eggs all from sussex cross hens who are currently running with an indian game cock and a light sussex cock, all the hatchlings are potential meat birds. Haven't candled all yet as early days for some and I like to wait at least a week before looking at them. The ones we have candled look ok so far though.

Just realised this thread is about what's in the incubator, and mine are all under hens - duh!

My incy's empty at the moment!

I've immobilised my ebay finger for the time being but as soon as the babies are big enough to go outside and thence to the lottie ......... well who knows.......!!
