And to answer swirler I like to use shelf liner!

my eggs are on day 20, can see where they have small dents in shell and can hear them peeping, not sure of the breed, the rooster is a black australorp and the hen is a buff orpington

I just put them in leftover paper cupcake cups (they are in my foil cupcake liners as separators between each liner) to make it a little easier to clean up. They flip them and flop them all over, it doesn't really do much good. It helps me see movement because the paper quivers.

In other news, one baby just popped out while I was climbing out of the shower, I heard a loud PEEP PEEP PEEP PEEP and there it is, wet and tiny and rolling around all over the place! Another one is halfway zipped!

Pictures tomorrow, I have to get my poor exhausted son to bed!

Ah, ok - so maybe I should do cheesecloth and cupcake liners? Seeing the movement sounds like a useful function. Any downside?

3....2....1...LOCKDOWN! Just put 75 button quail eggs on lockdown tonight. Hatch day due the 12th. Can't candle button eggs, so it was a set it and forget it this time. I will do the float test when the leftovers are 1-2 days overdue. I filled the water trays in my Hovabator still air and shut the lid and threatened the other family members if they touch it, they will pay dearly.

Just a third of the eggs that are in lockdown, sitting on shelf liner waiting for the show.
