Last year I think received scrambled eggs .

@Eggcessive posted this before, I found it helpful for troubleshooting problems:Nothing did start...what a bummer. I have no idea what went wrong though, the incubator seems clean and tidy. Everything seems to be functioning too. Is there anything else that may cause no development in the eggs?
Give the kids one cardboard box each to put their stuff in, and set a timer for 5 minutes. Offer a bribe (chocolate, money, extra privilege) as soon as they’ve got everything off the table and into boxes!Thank you! I actually have a table that I can put the incubator on but it is covered in art supplies right now. Hopefully I can get my kids to clean it soon & then I will put the incubator up there.

I'll keep those names in mind for future use. Butter is actually short for Butterball. Even as a baby she was the biggest chick in her group and it is comical to watch her run. She's like a bowling ball with legs. Drummie got his name because before I realized he would be my keeper boy he was nameless and always liked to stretch out in front of mom and she would joke "he's showing off his drumsticks to me". And my daughter plays drums in band so the name stuck when he was chosen out of his brothers to be my keeper.You mean Princess Buttercup and Westley, right?!
