How is everyone doing today?

Go to bed. Maybe you'll have surprises come morning.

I would wait. Make sure your girls are laying blue first.

How's it going?

That stinks but you never know...Don't put them in water, just leave them alone for a day or two and see if anything happens.

Do you have at least one calibrated thermometer in your incubator?

In this video notice how large the air cell is... This is the drawing down you hear about.

Here is another type of movement you should see... this one has actually already made the internal pip and just made the external pip...the crack. Also remember you must candle in a very dark room or closet. It makes a huge difference being in a dark room.

This is not using a phone flashlight so bear with me while I try to explain what you're looking at. This is the fat air cell side of the egg...This is the chick pushing up against the air cell getting ready to make an external pip. You would/should see this type of movement.

At this late in the game I prefer to use my phone flashlight to candle. if you're not familiar with candling you may not know what you're looking for so give me one second and I'll show you a video of what to look for this late in the game.

Don't stress. If the eggs are going to hatch they're going to hatch if they're not they're not. If you're worried about candling then then don't. The only reason I'm telling you to candle them is so that you will know if they are still alive or if they have already died. I'm going to just tell...

I wouldn't wait. I'd do it right now. Look for movement and drawn down air cells.

No...you can't really help them along. Have you been candling throughout to make sure that they are all alive? I don't like not knowing. If I were you I would be candling those 16 eggs right now.

Heck no don't do a float test! Unless you want to make sure they are dead. Candle.

Congratulations. How many out now? Are they all yellow?
