Beautiful chicken choices. I'm a newbie to all this, but I'm letting everything sit for 7 days before I turn the turner on. Quite a few of the eggs I got from further away have trashed air cells, so I figure I've got nothing to lose. Lots of bubbles and the like in them. Good luck!
Congrats!
Welcome to all the newcomers. It's hard to keep up with all these posts. lol
I did a little candling last night and saw a few I think might be clear or early quitters but I'm leaving them in for a while longer as long as they aren't stinking or seeping or any of that, just to be sure. Had a few that had some definite veins. Gah, I just had to pick breeds that have shells that are tough to candle through. I'm glad I got the 1k lumen flashlight or I'd be sunk. Seriously considering getting an egg buddy to check heartbeats to do away with this nonsense altogether.
Weighed a sample of six eggs to see how I'm doing for weight loss, and all are within the acceptable parameters. Starting a week before I put eggs in, I tinkered around with figuring out how much water got me how much humidity for how long. Thirty ml of distilled water gets me to 33% tops before I go to bed, and down to 12% the next afternoon. Rinse and repeat.
