A properly warm egg should be the same temperature as a slightly feverish human, if that's any help at all. (I mean, your name is "momof6," so I hope that's a good reference.)ok, I'm in Hawaii, so right now, at 832pm, the temp is 73 degrees. it wont get too much colder now. The eggs are in a shallow box, in my bedroom. Good airflow, but its next to my bed, so not a drafty area. I only have a thermometer to check for temps on a human!
By tagging, I just let her know about the thread. You can go to your inbox and start a new conversation, but I doubt that would be helpful. Or you can click on her name, go to her profile, and comment on her profile. But like I said; she's probably asleep (vermont). It's nearly 3:00 at night here. I'm just working weird shifts.
That's an excellent reference, Thank you!
If the chick starts peeping loudly, he's uncomfortable (or struggling to get out of the shell.) If he's peeping contentedly, he's just letting mum know he's there. I sometimes play youtube videos of clucking hens.
he's not peeping at all! But he is still moving around in there. I've got the other 3 eggs in there, just in case. I just hope it's not too hot. I tried every thermometer I have, but none will read the temp. I guess we have to just wait and see. Let me know if there is anything else you think i can do!
I think you can candle the eggs, if you want. Beyond that, just wait and see.
