No not grow faster. It slows down the late development so that the internal heat caused by the chemical metabolic processes of growing don't overheat itself like a car radiator and crack it's block. Too fast of growth and the chick can die of heat it generates itself. That was also the reason that cooling to 75˚ on day 16 for 6 hours helps with the hatchability because it keeps the last burst of growth (which generates heat) from killing the chick.

Good research. I'm sorry, I oversimplified.
I was hoping anyone going that direction would do due diligence research.

Congratulations Tadpole, hope you have a great hatch and then fun with the eggs you won!

I always forget to quote, but that was a beautiful picture of the eggs in the nest, whose ever pic it was!

Thanks also whoever mentioned the temp errors with the new Genesis, I checked mine and it was 2 degrees colder than it said it was. Will have to keep a close on on it.

It will be fun to see all the eggs set tomorrow!

And so it begins!! I am setting mine tonight in hopes that all the EGGcitment will be done by the time I have to go back to work on the 2nd. I was hoping for 7 cochin bantam eggs, BUT to the rescue came Msladyhawke and I have a mix of bantam eggs. And yes those are names on the eggs! My daughters have each claimed an egg, now lets just pray they turn into chicks!

Oh gosh, the pressure. Please, please, please let them hatch.
