This is way more stressful then just plain old incubating.

I am not made for this.

You have to stick it out. If you can do it, the rest of us can.

I'm not quitting. I'm just moving slow.
I am thinking that it is more important for it to eat and drink tonight then it is for me to stress it out trying to figure out how to tape it's mini fake feet.

Totally agree. The booties this early will just make it harder for him to get around. You want him up and active, or at least trying to be active first. The toes aren’t as much of an emergency as getting him to drink, in my opinion. But you are the one watching him, so it’s ultimately your call on when to do what.

This is the easiest way that I’ve found to manage tiny toes, without much help, when you’re ready to try it.

I can't help but giggle ...not at you, I promise but at them for even saying this. How can one guarantee a hatch rate. That seems impossible.

What happens if you don't get that 60%...do they give you your money back? How does one prove it?

X2, I'd say it's impossible to guarantee hatch rate, fertility rate is more important than HR. Plus, you have the hassle of taking pics, sending the pics to them, phone call after phone call....why bother....and that's what they count on. Just my

We never ever ever guarantee a hatch rate since it's so hard to prove that they did/didn't meet something like that. In special circumstances like the eggs being smashed in the mail or non-fertile eggs being sent we will honor an agreement, but it honestly shocks me to see that they are guaranteeing that hatch rate percentage. That's daring lol.
