Early February 2016 Hatch - Who's In?

I caved in and candled my first six. I'm going out of town tonight until Wednesday night for work (and I think my shipped eggs are arriving tomorrow...hopefully my husband can follow instructions on setting them up to recover) and I wanted to see how they were doing. Three looked viable, one I wasn't sure, and in two of the small ones I didn't see anything. Since they don't smell and it is early days, I will keep them in there. When I get back I'll candle my other 5 and put in some of my shipped eggs.

I also ordered another incubator off Amazon and it will be here Wednesday. It looks like a Farm Innovator but it was called something different. It had 4 out of 5 stars so I thought I'd give it a try. I'll hook up Wednesday night when I get home, monitor it all day Thursday, and put the rest of the eggs in on Friday morning.

You should know on the two by day 10.

So, I told myself that I wouldn't candle until day 10...:smack. Unfortunately, I'm weak, today is day 4 and I needed to add some water to the Bator. I quickly candled about 10 and ALL of them had veins! What What!! :eek:. :yiipchick. Okay, I will do my best to stay away but I know that they are growing!

I put them in on Jan 12 according to my log, so 6 days ago? I put them in on the evening so I always get confused when to start counting.

Oh on day 6. I would definitely leave them if you can't tell 100% that it isn't growing. I typically take them out before lockdown when their shells are really dark and I can't tell. If I haven't seen any movement by then but that is just me.
