CelticOaks! Awesome Chart!!
Midwest: How frustrating! Hang in there, the hatch is worth some perseverance.

As far as contests go, I'm just shooting from the hip here, but I believe the reason behind signing up is so that there is a way to keep track of how many eggs are set....and then hatched. Whoever guesses closest to these numbers wins that contest. The First Chick Hatched in 2013 is a seperate contest.
