First attempt - need a bit of support

[suzc]

I have 4 hens eggs on lockdown - set the eggs at 1pm on 18th May - I started with 6, 1 was discarded at day 7 no development, 1 was discarded at day 14 early quitter - 4 were alive and well at day 18 - this is my first time and I am using the Brinsea mini Eco - I recon they are due to hatch about now - do I need to do anything else ?
No peeps or anything yet :-(

This is the point where they tell you "just sit on your hands," to keep them off the incubator. Every time it's opened ,it loses humidity and can cause "shrink wrapped," chicks - not a good thing!!
