I'm worried about this one. It had been under a broody before I got it and so the others aren't due to hatch until next friday, and I really wasn't prepared to have any hatches until then, so I upped the humidity, and am putting on a temporary lockdown. Not sure what else I could do. Don't want to drown the others, though

All that excitement and now NOTHING! Ugh! I may go on to bed - hopefully it will be an eventful day tomorrow - I have 11 total in the incubator. My kiddos are coming back from vacationing with the grandparents tomorrow evening, so I hope they'll get to see something exciting. This is just horrible.

Which means I'm totally addicted because I'm already trying to figure out when I can order my next set!!

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one awake waiting for eggs to hatch. Good luck with y'all's hatches.
