Setting eggs this weekend (Jan5/6) WHOS WITH ME!

Im trying really hard not to candle my newer eggs till day 5 I tried yesterday about day 3 and coudnt really see anything so I am really trying to hold of till at least day 5 its so hard though lol .
 
Uh oh, I think I missed something. No turning? I read that only on day one you should not turn them?
Why is anyone waiting to turn? I turn my starting on the day I set. The only time I wait to turn is if they are shipped and have damaged air cells.

A lot of us have shipped eggs and some are waiting a few days to turn is all. That was all discussed at the begining of the thread and maybe some had missed the discussions.

I Think I got a little carried away.

Sounds exciting, and fun!

So I decided to start a project while waiting for our new little chickies to arrive. This is inspired by another BYC member whos tread I recently saw and loved. Brooders out of household furniture. Right now I have a plywood brooder in my guest bathroom off my kitchen and since oddly that bathroom has no electrical outlet the brooder lamp is wrapped over the pocket door so it cant slide closed. So once I saw the inspiring furniture transformation I thought Im gonna do that.

step 1- craigslist free section - CHECK
step 2- search free section for a usable piece of furniture(I decided to go with a wooden entertainment center)CHECK
step 3- email for the furniture CHECK
step4- Pick up furniture ALMOST CHECK ( I pick it up tomorrow)

I will post progress and start a thread on it

Yay im excited to have a regular piece of furniture to house all my new babies and babies to come. I will paint it do go with my livingroom decor. SOOOOOO ECXITED!

I ignored chores and spent the afternoon making a brooding box out of a cabinet. Its not fancy, but I think it will work!

I candled one egg today b/c I thought it looked like it may have had a crack. They are dark brown and I have never done candled before so not really sure what I was thinking I would see....but i think I may have seen an air sac :)
