Today I bought six light sussex eggs for hatching to give the incubator another run.

First job was to get them home carefully and bring them up to room temperaturefor for 24 hours.

I numbered the eggs 12 and 6 on alternate sides to help with turning.  We turn the eggs three times a day at 6am,  12pm and 6pm, the numbers help remind us of when they were last turned.

I made sure the incubator was holding the required temperature and added the eggs.

Made a few small adjustments to the thermostat, they are now sitting at about 102 F and the humidity is between 55 and 60. PERFECT

I will report back on Day 8 if everything is going smoothly and candle the eggs to see how things are progressing and if they are fertile etc.
