A dumb question, a not so dumb question, and a Yay for me!

Ok, so how do I get a signature at the bottom of my posting? I know I can look it up somewhere but I'm exhausted and don't want to.

When candling brown eggs if I see a dark mass should it be stationary to one side, not rolling when I turn the egg? Today is day... um...10ish. and if I come across clear eggs I can now get rid of them yes?

Yay Me! Last Sunday I ran out of the house and got involved in a rather dramatic court hearing. My daughter age 14 diligently turned my eggs for me, but only twice a day (is that bad?). She had to fit it in with school. I finally got home Friday night and around to candling them yesterday and today. I lost count of all the wigglers in the bunch, but out of 26 eggs I had one early death ring, and three clear eggs. At least 14 or so wigglers and the rest have a dark mass that was hard to see through. I am so freaking excited that they made it this far, and through this fiasco.

Did I mention I brought home a baby...so my time spent lovingly turning eggs by hand and candling each one with ooohs and ahhhs has decreased drastically. Hatch day seems forever away...

Dark mass is good. And it will roll. Clear eggs at 10 days as far as I think can be thrown out. Turning only twice a day isn't going to play a part in anything if it only happens here and there. I'm old and forget how many times I turn them sometimes. LOL.

Lucked out, there's an emu ranch about 15 minutes south of me and got to go visit them several times before bringing home babies. Very cool birds. Have I ever mentioned I'm obsessed with birds? Everything from raptors to ratites and all those in between.

Yeah, I probably better before I get out of hand. I'm tired and the nyquil is kicking in.

i feel like the bad kids rambling at the back of class lol

grr my temp keeps dropping at night without any changes in the room where the bator is .... its getting frustrating ... especially when i know the next eggs im setting will actually have cost me money and will have a lower hatch rate anyway since they will be shipped .... hmm thinking i might change tops tommorow ...
