Has anyone come up with a chart/spreadsheet for recording egg progress/turning/temp?

[nmm2112]

My kids and I are about to get our eggs and I wanted to have my 8yr old keep a chart about our "incubation experiment". I might need to come up with my own spreadsheet/chart but thought there might already be one out there.

I was going to include the day of incubation, a place to check off after each turn of the egg, a place to record the temp/humidity, any signs of hatching....

Any thoughts or comments? This is my first time hatching eggs and I'm not sure who is more excited, the kids or me!

There are some charts and records here. First post:

If you need more shoot Sally a PM. She'll be happy to help you! And talking of Sally, she put together a fantastic article on incubation and hatching that I think you'll enjoy too:

Enjoy your hatch and good luck!

yes and they are not protected files which means you can adjust them to suite your own needs. Good Luck with your hatch!

If you have an iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc., you can get an app called iHatch. I just bought it for $0.99. You add the date you set the eggs, you can record notes, and you can set up reminders. When you add the date you set your eggs, it automatically starts a countdown and you can see the growth in your eggs and advice.

We've created two spreadsheets (one is designed for incubators with turners - the other for hand-turning). You can find them both at the link below.

Hope this is helpful; we'd like any feedback.
