    So some background: month ago we ordered eggs of eBay. 10 of them came; didn't know you were supposed to let them set so they were put in the incubator as soon as we got them. 3 of them were quitters prior to day 10. Six hatched a day early to day 21. All 6 had hatched without issue or help and...
