The bad news is his hatch day is going to be on the 27th with the chicks shipping to my house on the 28th (even took the day off work). The weather is 60's here today and of course is dropping...

    First incubation looks like epic fail....:(

    So, I have been so excited, ordered some lavender, blue/black and buff O's (arranged to have shippers send so eggs arrived on same day). Borrowed a foam bator, bought a turner. Monitored temp with 2 thermometers and a humidity reader. Read lots of BYC threads, recalculated 21 days 2100 times...
