Yup I took the advice that I should NOT LIKE IT OR WANT TO do it, but know that I need to do it. Deed is done and wasn't so bad. Thanks you guys for the support! It was a big step, now the bigger step would be eating them, but I will freeze them for a while.

Eating them though is the best part!! You have gone through the hard part.

Sally, thank you so much for the tip about the vent plugs... I'm thinking that was my problem!! After 2 hatches with only one chick hatching really early, I pulled out he vent plugs and the last one was 3 for 3 (even though 1 had the leg problems, and so far, this hatch 5 of 7 have hatched!! I'm SO happy to be getting live chicks... I was ready to give up. Day 21 isn't over until about noon tomorrow, so the other two still have time. One had great movement at lockdown, and one is such a dark egg, I couldn't see a thing, even with 2 lights, so I have no idea what to expect...

and

AWESOME!

I put my shipped eggs in lockdown this morning and I heard peeping. Not sure which egg. I have three different breeds in there. I'm so nervous. Humidity is 64% and that's with two cups with sponges and the resivoir filled. I'm afraid of it dropping overnight tonight. I'm like a new mom all over again. Now I'm going to stare at them some more.

I think there was something more wrong with the chick than her feet. She's sagging her head all over the place. I don't think she will make it through the night

oh no! Update! but I will keep reading!
