Thanks for sharing! My first incubator batch is on day four. I'm candling daily (can't help myself!), and I saw distinct development today for the first time! Since 6 of my 9 eggs came from a favorite hen I lost a week before setting the eggs, I'm especially anxious about this group. It will be fun to follow along with your batch while I wait.

Best of luck to you and me! Thanks for joining! Since our batches are a few days apart, I think it will be cool and fun for you while you candle youe eggs since they are on a certain day, mine will be a few days behind so you can compare my eggs to yours!!

HELP!!!! MY POWER JUST WENT OUT DUE TO STORMS!! WILL THE EGGS BE OKAY???!!!!!

It been almost an hour.... I have gotten advice from @MROO (which was VERY helpful!) The storms are still rolling in!! I have put lots of towels around my small little incubator and two heavy duty flashlights to help hold in heat. So, candling day was supposed to be tomorrow but I think I’ll move it to day 4 instead of day 3 so the eggs can rest some.
