Incubators without a fan should be set around 102 degrees. I would expect it will be a day or two late at least. You might wanna go shopping today. It seems to take even longer for action to start when you hover over the bator.

Do you have any pips? LOL I have been waiting and driven crazy since the beginning!!

during the tropical storm that hit us like a week or so ago, I slept on the couch next to the bator, keeping guard.

LOL mother hens do that.

I have already thought of some names for him/her:

If it's a boy:

***Pedro(My fav!)***

Andrew (this name is similar to his mom's name, which is Abby)

Mr. Red(maybe)

Anthony

Little Red(male/female)

Rusty

Ty Jr.(his father's name is Ty) (another maybe)

etc... that's all I got so far for boy.

If it's a girl:

***Anna(one of my favs!)***

Little Red(male/female)

Abby Jr.(mother's name is Abby) (maybe)

etc....that's all I got so far for girl.

I know how you feel. I usually wait a few days after the supposed hatch before I toss mine. I had a hen laying in a nest with a broody, so when the broody came off, I brought the eggs inside. It has been about 5 days, and only one out of 3 has hatched. I was putting my turner back in my bator, and cleaning it out(egg shell pieces and whatnot). I picked up the other 2 eggs to dispose of, and heard one peep!! It had a very small pip in it. I didn't even notice it when I took it out!! I hope the little fella is ok!

wow! That must have been a surprise!
Good luck with the little fuzzy!

I hope he's ok too, as well as mine.
ohhhh this suspense is killingggg meee!!!!

LOL I can't stay away from that bator! I always have to sit next to it and see if I can hear or see anything, but I never do. One time I thought I saw the egg move a tiny tiny bit, but I think it was just either my imagination or the bator shaking when someone walks by(that is usually what hapens. Someone walks by and the bator trembles a little, making it look like the egg is moving) But maybe, jussttt maybe, that little chick IS moving....!!!!!
