How cold can eggs get and still hatch? *UPDATE*

Wow, this is very encouraging. Being in the midst of winter I just assumed only the eggs that were still warm when I collected would be any good for hatching. I collect atleast twice daily, on the weekends when I am home from work I usually check 3-4 times.

One has hatched, and the one that hasn't pipped yet was set a day later, so fingers crossed

nature is like, cool and stuff.

it's amazing that something as fragile as an egg can endure what it endures and still produce a perfect lil' baby chick!

my incubator is on it's way and i feel like an 8 year old having to wait for christmas. each morning i'm at the door checking my porch to see if it's there and each morning i get this little flush of childish irritation/impaitience when it's not.

eggs.
chicks.
chickens.

i just can't wait to watch the whole thing from begining to end!
