So exciting that some have pips already. I still just have wobblers. And Im trying not to stare to much at them also.

I sometimes get a neck ache from peering into the bator.

I have another pip!

How exciting!!! I haven't seen anything yet! My bf swears he saw one wobble, but unfortunately I haven't yet. So excited, think I might sleep with one eye open and on the bator tonight! Lol

We now have a baby monitor! LOL (ustream) that way we can listen and watch and not have to both be trying to watch into our little windows at the same time! woohoo! nothing has happened yet but we only have been in lock down a little while!

Candled tonight since lockdown for me is late tomorrow evening. I don't have much hope for mine hatching on time if at all. My BF swears he saw veins & movement in a few (my night vision is extremely bad, so I just see dark blobs), but all look to be behind by at least several days on development. I still have a lot of light showing in the bottoms of most of them. My temps have been swinging wildly though. I've had temps ranging 90-112F. Most I caught quickly, but I think my average temps have been low. The house we just moved into over Christmas has NO insulation & we are running electric heaters in ADDITION to the furnace to try to just keep temps above 50F in MOST of the 1st floor (blocked off the upstairs that we are remodeling & have walls & ceilings ripped out of). Everyone is running around in hoodies & jackets IN the house most of the time. Temps outside haven't been above about 20F for most of the past week & were in single digits for 3 days this week. It's freakin cold!!! Bator 2 is running a bit better, but I just removed 9 definite clears or very early quitters (most from my eggs, lost 2 roos to the cold this week so that may be why fertility is low) & left 6+ that look like bloodrings. I've had some temp swings in that bator too but not as bad since the room it is in maintains temps a bit better since there are doors to hold the heat instead of just curtains. Bator 3 (which is in the same room as bator 1 with no door) has all but maybe 1 egg showing development at day 5. That bator seems to hold temps a bit better than bators 1 & 2 for some reason. Not sure if it's just the bator or because it's the furthest from heaters & register vents. Anyway, looks like bator 1 is running late, bator 2 has a lot of clears & quitters & bator 3 is running the best at this point.
