Lol. I am too excited to be cranky. I will say I wish my brain didn't wake me up. Lol

Well then I will have to sleep in when I can.

This is going to be me! Didn’t have the option to get them closer to the weekend so I’m pretty sure I’m going to take some vacation days lol

The last hatch I was at work for some. I had a camion my incubator and checked it anytime I could. Thankfully my boss was interested so watched it with me. Lol

Good news and bad news, candled for the last time, day 17. All are alive except the blue egg i mentioned before, i was finally able to get a good look at it and it appears it is detached, or whatever thats called- Where the air pocket swings around the egg? I hear this happens with shipped eggs alot but mine came from my own chickens, what could have caused that?

Were you running around with it? I think with shipping it feels for the eggs that someones running around with them and the air cell gets detached.

A few of mine have done this as well and all handled carefully and not tossed around in the nest boxes. I haven't figured out what causes it...

I wake up every few hours and check on them from around day 20 on, maybe day 19. Lol. Most times mine hatch around day 20. Last time it was late day 20 and day 21.

Haha! I’m wondering why I didn’t set up the incubator closer to my bedroom. I’ll be like this I’m sure.
