I am up to at least 6 pips now!

Yayy, you must be proud.
And I am not sure exactly where I am supposed to be seeing the pips on my eggs since they are laying on their sides.

I know a lot of people do it that way. I asked about how people placed their eggs during lockdown and I was told it was a good idea to put them in a carton that is cut on the bottom so that the eggs stay bottom end up. They said it was a good idea because otherwise when chicks hatch, they can roll the other eggs around. I guess this is a concern because they can roll over on their pip????? I don't think its a huge deal, but I liked the explanation...so I did it this way.

What day and what time did you set you eggs Tokajein??? I set mine on March 2nd at 7:00 am CST.

Me too. I am listening to calming music all the time now, so I don't freak.
And cleaning the house.
And working out.

I just got ready for lockdown, removed turner, and added a kitchen towel for grip, came back to it an hour later and the temperature had risen considerably to the norm

Had risen to 39 tops, so disheartened

Well, turns out I should have put my eggs in lockdown yesterday.

I put them in lockdown today and I am really hoping I didn't do any damage. I didn't hear peeps or see eggs moving. I am hoping it will be okay. I tried to candle them but brown eggs are so hard to look through..
