We started our first eggs in the incubator today.  Spotty helped place the 16 eggs in the automatic egg turner.  We are all very excited to see if we can really do this.

We have 6 brown egg laying hens.

We have one fancy blue maran rooster.

So hopefully in 21 days we will have some very cute mixed breed baby chicks.  We all made our predictions of how many chicks we will hatch.  Spotty said somewhere between 1 & 10 chicks.  Farmer Rick predicted 10.  I predict 12 happy health chicks!       How many do you think we will successfully hatch from our 16 eggs?
