The others haven't hatched yet and I am wondering if it causes more distress to remove her or leave her there waiting. I have rigged a speaker with...

    incubating first season eggs

    YAY!!! I'm not the only one ! I don't say impatient, i consider myself uber curious. However, on this occasion, i need to curb the curiosity so as not to cause undue harm and/or undue disappointment. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
