yea it would be a good idea to find the bad one. i had 2 ? eggs in my bator last night and this morning i checked again and 1 of the ? eggs was weeping so was gonna toss it... picked it up was gonna wrap it in one of my daughters diapers to kinda pad it so it didn't get broke in the trash before the trash is hauled to the dump. yeah... no such luck! it busted just as i put it in the diaper... i almost died from the smell. i literally had to get my son to bring it to the outside trash. i couldn't do it. so you might wanna get the smelly one out ASAP. so now i am down to 3 good eggs and 1? egg out of the 11 that i started with. they went on lockdown this morning so i can keep an eye on the temp and humidity throughout the day. I can't wait for cute lil fluffy babies!!!!!

Found it! and wow when I took the lid off the bator did it stink!!!!! It was weepy and by the time I was out side, it exploded! I'm on day 18 so I guess I really sound'nt be in there but I really didnt have a choice either

If there is a reason to open the bator this is it!! Glad you got it before it exploded in the bator! Hope it wasn't too bad when it did

I still have rocking so I didn't kill them

Humidity is a bit too high so I am working on getting some water out of there but other than that I think I am ok

Only one more day to get through

Not much happening with me yet. I saw a couple eggs move earlier today, but nothing since then. I hope they are ok.... I hate this part. This is stressful!

well my eggs have been locked down since this morning and the temp and humidity are good between 65%-75% no lower and no higher. (i just hope it doesn't bounce one way or the other while i'm asleep.) i taped the sides and windows so my kids can't open it so now it is just a matter of hurry up and wait...ugh... i can't stand that. but hopefully i will have 3-4 cute lil fluffy babies in acouple days. how are yall's eggs doing so far?

I hear chirping, and saw some movement in a couple eggs!

I think I have the humidity figured out

One interesting note: When I came home yesterday the therm read 96 so I panicked and turned the knob up. Then I decided to stick my meat thermo in just to check and it read 108

So, it seems that when the humidity is up, the thermo doesn't read accurate

And, I have cheeping

took me a while to figure out if it was coming from the bator or from my 3 week olds at the other end of the house but I'm sure it's the bator

Not long now!!!! We are getting there
