INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[quote o this is where you disappear to . the pointed end will be clear more than not  . most people look from the top of the egg . so they don't see the pointed end . If the air cells look good and there is not a large amount of fluid between the air cell and the chick . all should be fine . the fluid line should be a very fine line for best hatch results. temperature fluctuations are common in Styrofoam incubators with ceramic filled metal heating elements . sometimes as much as six degrees . but most of the time its more like four degrees  the important thing is that the eggs remain at a constant temperature .  that is why all recommend you take the temperature at the top of the eggs .  
Yes,it moves like liquid and yolk at the pointed end.About 15 more hours till lockdown.Where I'm at here,we have a tornado watch and flood advisory for two days,I hope our electricity doesn't go out course then I think they really won't make it.

Try not to worry. You can use heated water bottles to keep the temp up and make sure to wrap the incubator with blankets. You can also use a couple of candles and bricks to make a heater to help keep it warm. I can't remember where I saw it but I would look it up!!! Good luck and your power does not go out!

this chart is so wrong the only reason I 'm posting it is to show that there will be open space at the pointed end . if you notice there is no air cell in the twenty day egg, now if your chick is a light colored chick you could be looking at its butt. at this late day an unabsorbed yoke is about right though . the chick absorbs the yoke just before it hatches .good luck with the hatch hope all goes well with the weather . I've ben watching this storm for three days should hit us early in the morning .

You just have to hang in there every mishap is a learning experience . you set your self up for all possible problems as you go along . I have a backup plan for everything but me . If 'm here there is no problem If I'm not well we lose chicks . this reminds me that I need to teach the wife and daughter how to use the power converter . when our power goes out they start lighting candles . and looking for flashlights . forgot to add a computer backup will run a small incubator for a long time.
