We aren't trying to be negative dear, just being honest. I'm glad you let your Mom know what you were up to, I know when I was a kid every secret I kept blew up in my face like a rotten egg! You have put together a really cute incubator, but do you have any way to check humidity and temperature? Can it hold humidity and steady heat with the top off and nothing enclosing it? There is some great ideas for making your own cheap incubator in the Learning Center, they may give you an idea on how to improve that incubator, so that if this hatch is a dud, you may be able to try another hatch, and with some improvements, I think you could put together a top notch incubator for hatching! Make it a project. The best day to see if you have any real development is days 7-10, that is when you should be able to see veins and maybe even a little eye in there! Good luck, I hope they do hatch!
