Hatch along 2015

[msheets]

Mamawolf that's up to you, I like posting mine & comparing them to others results...

My eggs just got weighed for their first week & all are on target but egg C, it lost half of what it should have & I rotate the eggs daily to different parts of the incubator...so I'm thinking an early dud. I have in the last though see eggs hatch that were in the danger zone but this one is WAY off in left field. Darn.

Starting Weight
A-647.2 (needs to lose 13.6 weekly)
B-675.5. (Needs to lose 14.2 weekly)
C-609.2. (Needs to lose 12.8 weekly)
D-650.2. (Needs to lose 13.6 weekly)

Week 1
A-633.5 (lost 13.7)
B-660.9 (lost 14.6)
C-602.7 (lost 6.5)
D-635.8 (lost 14.4)

Lol I don't think it matters as long as it's easy for you! I use baby band aids with a permanant marker for mine, it sticks pretty well. You have some nice size eggs so that's good, they probably came from mature pairs. The first week is always hard to not weigh them every day because I'm anxious to see if they're losing what they should but there's no way Id weigh them daily throughout the incubation, I do good to have time to turn them at least 3 times a day haha!

Your egg should lose 13.1g a week & it lost 11.2, so Id say it lost a lil on the low side...
