OK I did it again and egg 5 moved so I know there is a little stinker inside there waiting to greet me LOL Egg 1 did not move so we will see on that one. I just purchased 6 more eggs from Emufolks on ebay lets see what happens to them

Ah... you're getting Kansas eggs! I have had excellent hatch rates from them (and lots and lots of boys).. lol

Yes I am getting 6 of them so hopefully some will hatch. Last year I bought alot from them and none hatched all were duds

I figure if they hatched for you then I will give it a try again LOL. I might get more from Carole as well. I do know I have a wiggler in egg number 5. Each time I test it wiggles

Weighday.

Weighday.

Shouldn't February 28 come before March 03?

 

[Raptor65]

The first few columns are 7 day intervals for weighings, the extra column for February 28th is a midweek calculation since my eggs are being incubated at a lower temperature, I suspect they may hatch somewhere around then. If they hatch between February 24th and March 3rd they'll still be in a safe weight loss range which I have set between 12 and 15%.

There's a hidden formula in the spreadsheet, all the numbers in the green and red lines are automatically filled in when I enter the first weighing in the blue line, including the daily and weekly weight loss.

Egg B went rotten and was removed tonight. It seemed fine when I checked it this morning but I noticed the masking tape had darkened and when I peeled it back there came the stink.
