I am so sorry. It is hard to loose them isn't it? I can't figure out how it is so easy to get attached to an egg!

Once you see growth and movement, you just can't help it. It's a living, growing thing. And we are animal lovers. Just like that lone turkey egg I had last year, that grew, but I guess my humidity wasn't high enough. I still blame DH. he jinxed it because he named it already.

Well, finished cleaning out the incubator, none hatched. Power went off on the 30th and was off for 17 hours. I candled and float tested, no movement. Oh well, better luck in spring. I seriosly need to buy a generator.

That's awful!!! I'm so sorry to hear that!

with turkey eggs when you go into lockdown, the higher the humidity the better. I try to keep mine at least 90%

If they are alive they usually wiggle. leave them in the warm water for at least a minute
