So exciting, can't wait to see everyone's pics, lots of us are in lockdown or going into it.
Today is lockdown for me! Yay, finally. Just got my eggs turned to where the lowest end of the air cell is facing up, incubator is closed and humidity is going up, currently at 50%. My temp isn't budging from 91 degrees yet though but I'm giving it a bit before I turn up the dial. Last night I couldn't go to bed because it kept spiking to 102 whenever the humidity went up. I'm nervous and excited and TIRED! I have a feeling that's what my next few days are gonna look like.
I didn't get to bed till 1 am, slept terrible although I know I slept because I had a dream all 10 eggs were pipping and zipping and then my mother in law opened the incubator and 3 didn't make it.... but I had 7 fluffy butts in my dream, wonder if it will be reality. I really didn't imagine id be putting 10 of my 12 eggs in lockdown so having 7 hatch would be fabulous although I'm rooting for all 10.
Anyway now to sit about 4 feet away from my incubator sewing my kids christmas gifts and checking on the incubator every so often.
Good luck everyone, share your pics.
