Good afternoon friends!

I was observing (staring at) my eggs today (don’t lie to me I know you all do it) and I’m fairly certain one of them is shaking. They were set March 6th, so that would make this day 14. Could they be trying to hatch early? I will admit the temperature had been fluctuating quite a bit, up to 101-102°, though I’ve tried to keep it at 99.5. So it is possible they would hatch early.. but starting to shake on day 14 seems a bit premature to me. Here’s a screenshot from a video of the egg being candled last night. I will post a video later today. Let me know your thoughts & advice!

I’m not crazy lol.

Edit to add, this is actually a different egg than the one I saw shaking earlier. This one looked like this last night
