    She seems to be doing well and getting stronger as the day goes on. Shes still not all fluffy but I think the incubator is too short for her. Is it too soon to move her I tot he broader with the heat lamp?

    Do I wait and see if the other egg hatches or should I try to hatch it since I may have shrink wrapped her? As of now the baby seems to be getting stronger, but no sign of pipping form the other egg.
