Welcome aboard! You know, the eggs are still good past five days. You should add a few dozen more.I didn't see this until just now, and I set my eggs at 4:30pm today. Arrrrggghh LoL. Oh well, I'm joining anyway. I wanted our 6 neighbor children to be able to enjoy the baby chicks the weekend of Easter. Plus I had saved eggs since the 7th (good old lucky number 7) and didn't want to go past 5 days before setting. Wish me luck, 48 chicken eggs went in!!
