Thanks for the reminder! Raising the temp was another change we plan to make.

It's Monday and nothing. We did the float test and while all looked viable and were low floaters, none moved so we cracked a few. All had embryos that stopped pretty early in development SO we're scrapping the bunch and then back to the drawing board. We will get a new thermometer and...

Thanks everyone! Day 23 is over and nothing yet. Holding with the plan.....won't touch until Monday and then will do the float test.

Thanks, ChestnutRidge. That is great information. I do think that while we maintained a consistent temperature that it may have been slightly on the low side 99.5 (or slightly below, but always above 99). I've bumped up the temp slightly and am sticking with my plan to l leave the eggs as is...

No, I didn't get a hydrometer for this first hatch. To be honest, I would rather do it the natural way, under a broody hen, but none of my girls would cooperate and I just got too impatient. I will see what the end result is and make a decision about getting one before my next hatch attempt...
