Thanks for the congrats!

I have an Accurite thermometer/hygrometer that's pretty well stayed at 99 -100. Although I got up a couple mornings and it had reached 101, and a single day with a 102 spike. Although the 102 was not even an hour before I saw it and made an adjustment. Those readings were with the Accurite sitting in top of the eggs. Hmmm....maybe I'll test the Accurite before setting the next eggs.

Have 5 more hatched this morning and eggs rocking around everywhere in there. Last night's first 6 appear fine. They're scuttling around the box quite well. I made them drink water again. In a little bit I'll move the newer ones to the box.

But then we have to go out at 6:30am and will be gone until arounch lunchtime. Hope any newbies will be alright in the bator that long.

Thanks, Max!

Now at 23, and plenty more activity with rocking eegs. Wish they'd all just pop outta there like popcorn. LOL

Maybe I'll get a chance to do some pics tomorrow. Fridays and Saturdays are tough around here - we do a market Sat mornings and need Fri to get ready.

Also have 100 meat chicks that arrived today. We're stretched a little thin.

When I started I tried candling, but instead of tossing the eggs i thought were bad, I put a pencil mark on them. When some of those eggs hatched I knew I needed more practice. 15 day hatching is too soon, I think your temps may be elevated. Good luck.
