So I checked that egg and he had pipped wrong side down and through the yolk. He was already gone before I noticed. 4 eggs left but haven't pipped but I did see...

    I really hope so! Thank goodness for alarms on the incubator. I've been trying to be more hands off and have only candled on day 5, 7 and 14. And checking temp through the window.

    Thank you Sally! I will do lots of reading! I'm afraid maybe I jumped the gun. Even though she's been sitting for 2 days she is not now so I guess she may if changed her mind.

    I hadn't collected eggs in a few days because I was running out of room in the fridge and in the incubator. And yesterday I caught her sitting on the eggs and she got very verbal when I went to get them. So I left them and her. I didn't check to see if she was sitting on them before bed because...

    Count me in! The husband didn't freak out to bad when he saw the eggs sitting on the counter and not in the fridge! Got to get some stocked up to put in so will be a few days into May. Good thing I moved all 22 babies out in time.
