    Tried to candle the others as best I can (I left the light at work) and tapped and listened there’s no signs of life unfortunately.

    So to make a long story slightly shorter I work at a preschool and I’m certain that we have been incubating these eggs all wrong probably due to the fact that we had the incubator out for the kids and they’ve knocked the lid off several times and played with the heat settings. It’s day 24 and...
