Well, I dislike the cold, but a nice fire in the stove is a pleasant thing. Though after a long day it is more soporific than turkey.

I had to find the dictionary, I have never used soporific

I'm incubating eggs for the first time. I've been candling them every few days. I had been noticing their air cells hadn't changed much so I made sure to make a dark outline the last few times. Well, now I'm seeing charts and it looks as though they should be a bit larger. I'm on day 15- day 16 tomorrow. I have reduced the humidity because I read somewhere that it would help. I plan to increase the humidity at lockdown in 2 days. Is this correct? Also, all of my eggs look good, plenty of movement, great veins, but I wouldn't necessarily say that the chick is filling the egg at this point, is that normal? Thanks for any info or tips! I appreciate it!

Welcome
There is a great notes section on the first page. I am a novice so I will tag the experts. Though I know you do increase it at lockdown.

Welcome! Any pics? That sounds good to me. And yes, the chicks won't be filling the egg at day 15.

@Ladyfarm. If you could post a couple of pictures that always helps.

Also, days 15-18 I don't think that you are supposed to candle them.

I'm an expert at killing eggs, maybe, but not much else :/
