Congrats Birdrain,

I'd consider setting them soon, how old is the first one now?

7 days. I turned the incubator on. I was thinking that I was running out of time. How many days do you go?

I routinely go 10 days, with no problem as long as they are stored correctly, and I've waited 15 and had them hatch, but that is longer than I would advise.

Ok. I might have to let her start brooding then since I started these ones.
