Aww. i bet your excited. you only have about a week or so. do you know how long is the longest amount of time you can wait before you have to turn the eggs? i have to drive round trip with stopping about 10 or 11 hours and im worried about not turning them for that long.

The least number of x you can turn them is 2 x a day. If I can only do 2x then I make sure it's right when I get up and then right before I go to bed.

Would you be able to see much on a day 2 egg? I candled some eggs that were in the fridge and they looked a little different than the three I have a hen sitting on.

Hey
I'm on my first time day 5, I have a silly question do eggs feel heavier after they have been in incubator for a few days? Mine feel heavier
Thanks
