19 eggs into the carton, i cut the bottom out and trimmed down the sides, i also cut them into rows 2x6 so the middle ones wont have to climb over the other eggs in get out of the carton. i did have problem with the temps air temp and probe temp were far apart, thanks to missprissy all's well. humidity has been steady 73-75%, it spiked to 84% for the first hour but it settled. well we're off to hatch day

oh yeah i candle all were moving and the twin egg had movement from one for sure i don't know if the other was moving or being kicked ?

[jnjross]

On day 18, shouldnt the entire egg be dark except for the air cell?

 

[tiffanyh]

Yes, on day 18 they will almost the whole shell. How are your temps? It may have started and stopped which is why you see the shadow. The dancing around, are you sure it isnt shifting of the cloud in the egg???

I hope I am wrong....but this late you should just see an air cell and the rest is shadow. Just in case, be careful handling those eggs, yo udont want one to blow on you when your incubator is open on yor other eggs!

Good luck

Dark with only the air cell visible is how mine look on day 18 unless they're no good.
