Day Three question

[SarahF]

DH put eggs in the bator 72hours ago and I just thought to ask him if the fat ends are up...and he said, oh on most...ARGH! Men don't do research before they do things and it makes me MAD!

So, is it too late to turn the others fat up?


Hovabator (with egg turner) - Turbo Fan - Day Three
Current Temp: 98.5 - 99
Current Humidity: 40% (DH just added water, we'll see what kinda damage he's done now

)

I just lay mine on their sides

No it's not too late to turn the eggs to the correct position.

I have a tendency for ruining things, like chick eggs

I'm much better off not messing with Mother Nature. The ONE time I had a chicken go broody, I killed her only chick by intervening/interfering.

I told DH that if he wanted to do this, that I didnt want to help...but I see that he's doing this blindfolded and that makes me so nervous. SO, I keep an eye on the temps and humidity through out the day. (he would rather look at tractors and lawnmowers online than research our feathered friends...crazy eh!)

That night, the humidity spiked to 70%, so I opened the corner a bit till it went down to 50%. It stayed at 50% all day yesterday, but when we woke up this morning, it was down to 30% again. So, I added some water and it's slowly going up.

Can't wait till day 7 to candle
