FEB incubation experience -JULY update - BLK. ORP & EE *new pics*

Ok, day 1 is done

! Temps were great all day, pretty much held steady. Only 20 more to go! WooHoo!

Day 2 is almost done! Great day again. Thankfully temps have remained steady all day! I am sure you are wondering how I know this????? I am sure of this because I have checked them at least 100 times today.

Nothing like being a paranoid, perfectionist, first time hatcher! My type A personality is shining through. Hopefully those qualities will work to my advantage with hatching!

you just gotta

the paranoia of incubating,I have hatched like 8 times and I still check on them at least 70 times a day if I don't have school.

I keep thinking, will I always be this nervous and watchful or is it because it is my first hatch. I am pretty sure this is the way I am........ Glad I am not the only one!

I am going to try and hatch my own eggs or find some soon so I can hatch some.

I am way to addicted lol

DouglasPeeps I set 37of my own barn yard mutts last night as my first hatch! I too have checked temps constantly! I'm a freak! I will never make it to the end.... is it time to candle yet!?!?!?!?

Yea! We should be hatching at almost the same time! I want to candle too, but I won't. I have made a calendar and placed it above the bator. That way I can keep track of how many times I have turned the eggs each day (using tally marks). I have marked the days to candle and of course HATCH DAY!

 

[crazychicken]

All right unless we find some reason not to I will have ordered eggs by Tomorrow.
