Personally, I see nothing wrong with experiments. They can be fun. Some experiments fail, some succeed.

Thank you for your support. I love my birds very much and honestly, we wouldn't have incubators or anything like that today if people didn't test things. I hope people would understand that it isn't just a "i'll stick this here and see what happens" but a if it works that's awesome! if I notice trouble, I'll revert to old methods. It's no different to me than setting a first time broody. Who knows? Half way through she may get off.

I would start them tonight but wouldn't count today as they get up to temperature. Monday would be the first "day" and I'd check for darkening of the yolk and development a few days later. I candled them already to test them they seem good.

I'd learned to sleep while snuggling chicks (the chick in my profile is rather demanding. )  so I doubt I'll break the eggs while I sleep. I actually carried her in there when she just hatched since she was really weak and she stayed very warm. 

I'll take a picture of the eggs so that I can post it. ~  *grabs camera*

Thanks :D

yeah! Definitely.

I learned a lot of patience and careful stepping (and sleeping!) with my current chicks. My dear little Aiko wants to go with me everywhere and for the first 3 weeks (if not more) of her life I kept her with me at all times. …tough sleeping with a chick in a towel….  fortunately for me she now has a buddy roo who apparently got tired of his hen mom adopted me. 

…thank goodness she hatched in my semester break! 

Anyways I'll upload the pics now.

> > also I know I'm better off eating them than getting chicks but that's no good. Plus I have my hen's infertile eggs for that ^^; Didn't stop her from trying to hatch them though,
