LOL!!! Day 23, I shown the flashlight in the bator this morning and right before my very eyes, one of my EE blue/green eggs pipped. I had to go to work so I couldn't stay and watch it zip and come out, but I left a note for the girl who cleans my house twice a month to call me if it popped out...
Ugh...the only thing I can think is that either this hatch is going to be late because I ran the temps a degree too low, or it's just not going to happen. All of the eggs are developed and full of chick. I'm going to give them until Wednesday evening, that will be day 24, and if there's...
