    End of Day 20 - Help??!!

    Todays the end of day 20 and I’m worried. Neither of my 3 eggs have pipped yet, and earlier I took one out (only one because I didn’t want to touch the others) and candled it. There’s lots of veins and the dark mass (chick) however the air cell looks untouched, what does this mean? Do you think...

    Cardboard shoe box surrounded by blankets, very humid and warm inside , I was using a humidity monitor to test the water when I opened the box quickly yesterday to put more water in, should I open the box again today to check the humidity or leave it closed?

    Candling - Day 3?

    So I decided to take the one egg I’ve been candling thus whole time and today on day 5 this is what I see! I’m pretty sure those are veins!

    Candling - Day 3?

    So I know I’m suppose to wait till around day 7 to candle, however I had one egg that I had handled quite a bit so I figured since it seemed to be the lightest color (light blue) I’d try candling it. Does it look like there’s anything there? Or is it too early to tell? Thanks!

    Incubation with desk lamp.. tips?

    Thank you! I've wrapped the box with towels to keep heat in and it seems to have worked. Able to get it to 99.5 when I checked when I was rotating the eggs, however dropped back down quickly when I opened up the box and had it opened after a few minutes. Guessing it's best to keep it wrapped up...
