Meet Sophie, Alice, JR, Jean, Jessie, and Frankie!

Everyone is loaded into the 2 incubators and we have began!
I bought from 2 different sellers on Ebay. I bought 2 from one seller and 3 from another, the seller I bought three from included another egg FREE! I was so surprised. I really hope at least one of these hatch. Fingers crossed.

I set mine last night so we should be hatching roughly the same time, IF they hatch lol

First week was scary all eggs had actually gained weight. Second week they are actually on track. I hope everything is going well with them.

Mine have been losing an average of 10g a week. Hopefully that's good. I've been having a hard time keeping the incubator at a steady temp. It keeps fluctuating from 95°-98°. I just can't seem to find that perfect balance lol

What are you using for temp control? One of 3 things is wrong, poorly insulated, too powerful of a heater, or low accuracy thermostat. I built my own out of a cooler to hatch emus lol.

It's a hova bator. It's steady once I get the knob set right. The problem is that I haven't adjusted the temperature on it in probably 4 years lol. I think I have it good now. It's just trying to get it right where I want it.

One of my Easter set eggs is wiggling The other might have been, but I didn't take too long with it because it was cold in the garage tonight.
