This might sound rather dumb to some but if I don't ask I'll never know! ... do you count the moment you put the eggs in to the bator as day one or only after 24hrs??
I was thinking today would be day 0 and then the next day at the same time as today when I put them in, would technically be day 1 and moving into day 2....
And how long passed day 21 would you let an egg go before turning off the bator and counting your losses? 23? 24? 25? I imagine if I candled them at this stage it would be pretty conclusive?
Thanks for your thoughts.
