    Incubating eggs...Anyone want to join me

    i did a final candle last night; out of my 4 remaining eggs, look like one dies around day 8 - 10. the other three look fine. only 6 days to go - hope all goes well from here on out. got the video cam ready to go for next weekend. gw

    Remember the guy at work incubating the goose egg in a box??

    3 months? ok, time for lockdown. tell him to raise the humidity to 70% and don't open the box until they hatch. should be any day now gw

    Incubating eggs...Anyone want to join me

    ok, it has been 8 days now since i set the eggs; i candled this morning; out of the 5 eggs that were placed in the incubator 4 look good with chick inside. one never got off the ground so removed it. i love this little incubator (Brinsea mini advance). gw

    Here is a short video of my brinsea mini advance turning my eggs. I love it. p.s. my humidity seems a little high; how to lower it? gw
