Nows the time to leave the eggs alone.Thanks for the photos @MGG!! And yes. They have externally pipped like in @Kiki's video! The one pipped almost 24 hours ago so..... Maybe I can hope for some action today!!
The NR has been AMAZING. It turned them well and even though I had to add cardboard and tape (as said before... I was sent 30 eggs for that poor 22 egg incubator) and it handled it all fine. The hygrometer and thermometer have been accurate (as far as I know)! I am so grateful for all the help and advise I got about choosing an incubator.
I put in the drawer liner on day 15 and after throwing away 5 dead eggs (they seem to have quit on day 2 or 3), they have been in lockdown ever since.
Like I said, If I hold them up to my ear then I can hear scratching. Still no movement or sounds though.
I am so thrilled for this process to begin.
I'll update this once they have begun hatching!!!
Go shopping for the day.
