Still lacking one batch of eggs but I'll just set them tomorrow evening, goin to set here in a lil bit.. should have a list of all my eggs..Dang this is alota eggs.. LOL
 
LOL I feel like I'm talking to myself but whats new right LOL

Candled 2 trays of the eggs last night DAY 5 only had to toss out a couple from the shipped eggs (air cells were detached and they never started to develop). Plan on candleing the rest tonight maybe. Having troubles keeping the temps regulated. I've been from 98-101. I've actually got it in a bad place (our garage) and the temps have dropped here into the 40s at night and only 60's during the day. Back to warm weather starting today so hopefully it'll regulate a lil better.
