I had a busy weekend and did not get my eggs set on Sunday. Matter of fact, I experienced a minor panic attack when I realized the power outlets on the side of the room where I have the incubator table had TWO-prong outlets! I could only put one incubator on it, with a cord for the auto turner and the incubator. NOT SUFFICIENT!

All my power strips are grounded and will not fit in the older outlets. AUUUGGHH!!

Finally, I was home, called in sick, today and located an outdoors extension cord, also with three prongs, but I can plug the power strip into IT, and wind the orange power cable into the bathroom and plug it in there.

Three Octagon20 Advance EX incubators are now coming up to temp and down to humidity. (Damp tray inside.) I have 77 eggs to set. I'll either set them at midnight, or just before I leave for work tomorrow.

So, I won't be in sync with everybody and any chicks I hatch will arrive well after the first. I'm still gonna participate in the jollity, but should I add my stats to the spreadsheet or not?
 
I did a quick candle on the 13 eggs I have in the hovabator when I had to add water last night. Not touching the 32 in the brinsea until saturday, but the ones in the hovabator that I can see though are developing, even the really porous EE egg I threw in at the last minute (she is just about to molt so her eggs are kinda 'eh' at the moment - but she makes gorgeous babies)..

Yay for chicks!
