We went out of town this past weekend and I debated putting the eggs in lockdown prior to going. The air cells were still real small and I have four eggs in there that are 10 days behind so I went ahead and left them. Yesterday when we got back I took them out of the turner, put water in the incubator troughs, and put the shelf liner down. This morning around three I had 2 external pips in the RIR x Marans crosses. It looks like one of those was a late quitter so I'm expecting three. Two of the BR x Marans also quit so I am expecting one and that one is internally pipped. All of the full Marans (10) are hanging in there and looking good. Some are drawn down a bit too much. I think I will have chicks when I get home and I didn't want them to get mixed up but didn't have any mesh trays to put the eggs in to separate them, so I made walls out of damp wash cloths. Hopefully they don't climb over them before I get home!
