    Is candling really necessary?

    After all these great responses, I think I've decided on just one candling. Maybe 2. Just to be sure. The thought of an exploding rotten egg ruining all the other babies' chances of survivng are enough to convince me! Thanks for all the feedback

    Dissapointment

    None of my 4 RIR eggs hatched. I bought them on Ebay, which might have been part of the reason. The tempurature and humidy were both stable throughout incubation. But I'm not throwing in the towel. I'm getting a whole new incubator. (I was previously using the Little Giant Still Air). I...

    Day 22-No Pips

    There were no power outages in our area, so that has to be ruled out. It doesn't get too cold down here in the South Bay. Unless you are far up in north California, it stays pretty temperate.
