A good use of my over abundance of toothpicks (and something I've been meaning to do). I also found a use for the extra chocolate I always have. Hot chocolate! All this time I have been finding stuff to dip in it.

I'm having a cup of hot chocolate right now. It's still raining. Nothing else to do.

"Is that a screw on the floor?? If I step on that it'll cripple me."

Later...

"Is that a Lego on the floor?? If I step on that it'll kill me."

True story those little things are killers.

@Sally Sunshine UPDATE!
Yesterday was day 14 candled and 1 of the questionable was still developing the other definite early quitter thew it out still have 7 going strong out of the fertile dozen trader Joe eggs



How do the air cells look for day 14
Day 7 green
Day 14 red

Thanks

@Sally Sunshine OK, Day 14 candling and weighing done. I did my little graphs, and while the AVERAGE weight loss is on track for 11%, I noticed some differences that made me graph each egg (there were only 15!). And PER WEIGHTS, some are on track to lose less than 10%, others 15%+. However, by candling, all the air cells look good to me compared to other images and the little air cell size sketch in Hatching 101. As the scale that I used for the first two weights was imprecise (and in fact died after day 7), I'm going to trust the air cells - but I'll post a few photos so someone can speak up if they look too big to anyone (wo. Humidity is set at 35%, and ambient is running around 35-45% this week. All embryos appear healthy and kicking (very cute to see them kick their little feet!)












Shipped NNs with the messed up air cells not due to be candled until Friday - I wonder if any of them will show development.

OK, off to try to catch up before I pass out...

Average air cell is it ok looking?

@Sally Sunshine
Day 14, Dark Brahma, started as "dry" incubation, started humidity bump 2 days ago when air cells were growing too fast (to me). For turning, tilting whole incubator, sponge for humidity(so no spilling/leaking worries)... took multiple frames(pictures, just hold button down and 20 taken easily)... kept the two to show the movement. Huge healthy veins
