Okay final count 20 of 21 hatched the one that didn't make it had help from another chick and it wasn't ready :( I was at the hospital all day so by the time I caught it it was too late.
Good idea! I'll ask my brother/dad if they have anything we could use. It just lets too much light out around the egg to get a good view inside. I have two blue easter eggs that are almost impossible to see through!
I was actually thinking a different candler would be good. I do love that it's there that helped on Day 3 when I was worried about an egg.
So far I am loving it! It's my first time hatching so I was nervous! The temp/humidity seem to be staying really accurate. I did have a power outage...
Update Day 7: I candled all 21 eggs I put in and all of them are moving around happily in their eggs!! I'm pretty happy so far!! But anything can happen today forward of course.
I'm going to be candling tonight as it's my day 7. I'll update everyone. I did have an egg I was worried about on day 3 so I did candle it and it showed great development!
I am doing my 24 hour watch, so far it's about .5 degrees colder than my Thermometer/hygrometer and the humidity is spot on. Thankfully I haven't put eggs in yet as we had an unexpected power outage this morning that lasted about 3 hours.
I'm going to put my eggs in tonight! I have about 20 to...
