16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

That is neat.

We are home safe and sound now.

Btw, the airport is quite small. It is larger than the surrounding county airports but not by much. One more aspect of rural living. Very few of the flights are direct. Most only go to a bigger airport for a connecting flight.
Our two main airports here are like a small city.
Massive.
 
You guys, I just found something horrible.

I went out to check on my broody Molly because tomorrow is supposed to be hatch day. I lift Molly off the eggs and I smell something HORRIBLE. I look and I see 8 eggs and one dead chick. One of her eggs exploded. The dead hatched chick that was covered in nasty egg goop. I moved Molly into another box with fresh hay and I start moving her eggs over. Besides the dead chick, two more eggs were dead in shell. They were next to the nasty egg and were covered in goop.

There are still 6 in tact eggs and one of them is pipped with a baby that is very much alive. Molly got her nasty belly feathers clipped. hopefully the rest hatch fine.

I wish I had candled a few days ago like I wanted.

:barnieOH NO!

Good luck girl!
 
Okay. Sorry for the delay. I went out and because I can't drive and control when I leave I got back way later than I wanted.
Is anyone still awake? If I don't get any responses before 10pm CST I will not do a live candling tonight.
