I forgot; your friend's the one with the incubator! Guess I ain't awake yet.

I was just being a smart aleck.

Dax I read your posts and I always feel a little better   I hope you know what an incredibly wonderful person you are 

You are too kind, but I am glad you are encouraged. In reality I spend too much time being too quick to speak and too defensive. I am trying to and praying that I can internalize the truth spoken in this week's sermon. I think it will make a difference. He said that we need to speak our lives because what has been done to us is not as big as what has been done for us. Boy, if I could learn to live in light of that.

I went to put the eggs on lockdown, and all 4 eggs have cracks in them already... I think maybe I was off on what day lockdown was ^.^

Okay so I am getting 35 eggs this Saturday. They will be 1-6 days old, is it okay if I don't put them in the incubator until the next Saturday? And how do I store the eggs? I want these eggs to hatch around Easter.

Refrigerated eggs can be successfully incubated, but I'm not sure of the time parameters. Someone here will know & chime in soon.

once an egg is over a week old the hatchability drops very quickly
if you do store them make sure you store them at about 50* and with ambient humidity around 50-60%
make sure to also turn them 3-5 times a day

this will help keep up the hatchability

Good Luck!!

Thank you I will keep that in mind when I get the eggs. The person I get my eggs from refrigerates her eggs before she give them to me. Is that okay for eggs to?
