Obnoxious meddler, I saw that statement and knew AmyLynn would be here. Bahaha!
It means opening the bator, checking eggs, pulling chicks, candling candling and more candling.....constantly. Basically, no true lockdown.
And be careful. Obnoxious meddling is contagious. Once you figure out how to do it, you won't stop!


Yes, I remove my chicks, take out shells, flip over the eggs that got rolled and if I need to, assist. Usually at hatchtime, I'm not candling until most all have hatched or pipped, and just to see what my chances are with the ones that haven't...lol The last three in my last hatch must have been cursing me out. They took so long to externally pip I kept checking on them. But they hatched and I had a 100% hatch.
