At least they're ok now :) I think the thing I'm most worried about is the fact I don't precisely know how old they are, I saw veins the first day we put them in the incubator (I didn't look for the "eye") but other than that, no idea. I've tried and tried to candle them but can't see through...

Ok I will try that, thanks. Do you guys add a damp sponge to raise humidity or a wide pan of water during lockdown?

You guys have been very helpful thank you. We are approaching lockdown and I was wondering if we should stop turning them on day 23 or day 21? Some people say different things, I just want to get it right.
