    Thank you I will change that for sure!!! It's sad that the chicks have to learn from my mistakes :( I have one more in this cluster of eggs. Then wait for a week, so I will adjust the heat and hopefully get a better result!! :) 1 question, how do you introduce water? Thank you!!!!

    I will try the tapping Ty! I have one peeping today when I woke up but no hope in the egg yet thou. My little one started chirping really loud when I was going to leave so I put the egg in there for about 10 seconds then back to the incubator hoping to encourage it.
