    These are from just this morning. The first one here has both bad legs. Still seeking advice and input. I have read the link you provided as well, though I'm not certain if it's slipped tendon or splayed leg. I grabbed a couple books from tsc and I've watched a few videos. I'm sure trying...

    Day 19. Anxiety

    Well, I'm glad you're getting a better machine! I've heard mine bashed, but it's done well for us. It's a little giant. Though I'll admit those brinsea's sounds awful nice! Lol. Good luck on the other eggs. I think I've got one roo so far, if the wing feather sexing is legit. Yay if so!!

    Well I have hatched 6 of 7. One of my hatched i was convinced was going to drown because the air bubble was so small on day 18, because my humidity was set very high throughout the entire process. I'm giving more time for this last one. I did candle it and there wasn't movement. Any updates...
