Oh and I see you have a homemade incubator as well… It is bigger than mine. I do have a difficult time regulating temperature this time of year when the temperature in the house is changing even though I have them in a room closed off. Today is day 20… No pips But hopefully when I come home from work there will be some… I’m planning on filming on a time lapse on hatch day... keeping my fingers crossed here trying not to bite my nails down too far

I mark them with the x and o when I hand turn them . If I put them in a Turner..no need. These eggs in the photo we're going into lockdown. I candle, and Mark the end where the air cell is. I can tell if the chick has pipped in the right area.

Oh... heavens. I saw the white and thought Styrofoam like my cooler/incubator. No Pips yet. So hard waiting…

End of day 21 and no pips! Tomorrow must be the day! I’d better not have to wait longer than that. This site mentioned waiting up to 27 days?! Yikes! I’ll need to see my own counselor by then!
