I do a pretty good job resisting the temptation, but for some reason the incubator mysteriously opens every once in a while.Resist! I know the foibles of shrinkwrapped chicks! But what's wrong with checking every 10 minutes for new pips...lol.
I found my blue eggs almost impossible even with my tactical flashlight!!!!!
Yes, some eggs are really tough to candle! Especially dark brown or green eggs.
The incubator temperature is holding stable, but it was down to 97F yesterday morning. It was a bit chilly this morning, so I made sure I wrapped the incubator up in some extra blankets. I discovered a few days ago that there are mice in the same room as my incubator. I set up some sticky traps and caught three mice last night.
