    How did exciting! How many eggs? It’s like going through your own labor minus the physical pain, I’ve been up for last 2 days, so My boys are sooo excited, they couldn’t wait to hold them, I made them wait until this morning. My oldest drew this yesterday. I love it

    I just candled all of them now at day 10 and 1 had a blood ring and a dark spot but no veins, so we tossed it and it had nothing in it. I just don’t want any explosions in incubator.

    Wow getting the temp spot on is taking lots of little tweaking but once I find the setting I should be okay, right? I have a hovabator with the water tray in the bottom, so this seems like a dumb question but how do I put water in it without disturbing the eggs, it would seem I just pour it in...

    Getting the temperature tight on the bator is not an easy task, is it? I read temp should be 99.7, it’s thzt right? And humidity 55% ?
