burnie69 376 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Incubator did well for me about 140 off. Had 32 outta 34 egg's from the states too. Hens haven't done to well though. 4 and 5 chick hatches when mostly about 10+. Maybe it's something to do with the cold nights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
