I think today is 29

Wild duck?

Maybe temp was a little low?

It's been 99.5-100 or 100-100.5 (depending on indoor temps) the whole incubation period.

I had to edit that and put not in there

I noticed.

Oh. Of course there's time, they've got all the time in the world to make up their little minds.

@BantyChooksGet, stop staring at the Bator and come say hi.

@Chaos18Are you working too?

@MotorcycleChick I hope you both feel better today. What is on your toddler teaching schedule for today? Is the other progressing?

She still has a fever bordering 100*. I only feel concern over the thermometer being off. Too much time on this thread has me wanting to look up how to calibrate a digital thermometer. And taking the temperature of my eggs with the forehead thermometer!
Today Duckling is going to perfect "Beauty and the Beast" (the song) and building with boxes. Maybe baking cookies.
I think (hope) that she will be an only child.
I now have a bad feeling that she won't be. I should have not said that.

Candler is busted. It works for 2 seconds when you switch it on and then it goes out. I was nervous about taking them out so I could use a phone light.... I figured candling won't help them hatch; so at least try to keep the handling at a minimum.
I have checked for wrong enders just in case. There's nothing.
