Well I set 4 eggs a little over two weeks ago, and last night's candling showed little birds in there swimming around! All are still going, even after a couple of small temp spikes, running out of water one day... dropping one through the toilet paper tube onto the flash light lense during candling.... accidently.
I set them earlier than I intended (too excited!), and didn't write it on the calender!! I *think* it was 3 days early, giving a hatch date of the 24th. We'll see. I was going to add humidity on the 22nd, a little more on the 23rd, in case it's too easrly by a day or two. Then I added another egg, so one is due 3 days after the first three, another reason I wanted to be easy on the humidity.
Not too shabby for a brand new rooster, old hen, cheap incubator, and forgetful human.
