GREAT!!!  how is baby girl?
ok KIT what day and candle time! you have a good flashlight?  those EE may be difficult to see in

great news, you should get a T and add just a tiny bubbler they are cheap.  and some you can control flow to each tube that branches off to get more from one than the other.    thats great on the filters!

I'm on day 7 and I candled this morning, I do have a good flashlight. Actually only two are blue, the rest are brown but my roosters are EE so that makes any chicks that hatch EE. Interestingly enough it was three of the browns I had trouble seeing in not the blues I could see veins in them but that was about it, one of those I went back and candled later and it definitally had something moving in it. All 15 have veins but I could only see clear embryos in 12.

Yeah! They did. I think it's cooler by the fan so I've been rotating positions every time I turn. Yes I have more than one and we ran them by calibrated thermometers first.
