2 diff foam incubators.
Dry hatch first 17 days fan and turner incubator 99.5 I lock down a day early, day 17, moving them to a still air, with water in troughs. 101.5 making sure incubator is on flat surface so it can draw air, plugs out. (Don't have incubator on a rug.)

Aww! What are they? And day 19? Wow!

Yuzu Day three: Still sitting faithfully.
Trusting the long process…..

In the mean time, depending on which bantam Cochin hen layed the egg Yuzu is sitting on, I hope to determine which rooster is with each of them the most.

Day four: Planning on candling. Took her out to go potty, but she is so stubborn, I had to put her back.

Update, 3:52 pm: Just candled, nothing yet, as expected, but here are pictures anyway.
#1: Standard random hen egg.

(Picture sucks, I know.)

#2: Bantam Cochin egg.

She doesn't break broody when you take her out of the box for potty?

No, she sits there scratching at the ground clucking. She must be my most dedicated one yet, she’ll easily step back into her box. I’ll try again in the morning.
