Many good hatching vibes sent your way!

I am on day 4! Good luck to both of us!!!

Sounds like you have everything covered!

Good luck! I am on day 2 with my first ever batch too! I can't believe how hard the waiting is already! Only 34 days to go. sigh.

Ok, all went smooth thru the weekend, but how am I supposed to work all day without looking into the incubator 20 times an hour?



...and how am I supposed to wait 20 more days, this weekend about killed me!

 

[DouglasPeeps]

That is the truth. I am sure I checked on my eggs every 2-3 minutes the first weekend too.

Yikes!

Just to let you know, the waiting doesn't get any easier. I am sure that 21 days was the longest of my life! But totally worth it!

do you have an automatic turner!! It is so much better!!!
