Frogs on steroids makes me hopping mad. them four letters you ware will get you by with me . I only like frog legs if I hand catch the frog. tabasco is right one out of three ain't bad though .

Did our fearless leader have anything intelligent to say?

it's not true shoot for low  forties that worked best for me. Oh lord where you live humidity is going to be a problem . try hard to keep it constant . you might want to weigh your eggs before and check weights I don't do that but others do seek help I run my styros dry for the whole incubation and spike at the first good pip and sometimes later.

That's exactly how I been incubating, dry till I see that they are piping. And yes I have a terrible time with humidity. I have been loosing half my hatch after the 18 days. I put the bator in a closet and that hasn't helped. I won't give up. But truly it gets frustrating.

Eh.
Prolly jus floridian frogs
Mississippi frogs are bigger, and they are my reference point. I only like wild myself
Nothing compares to French Frogs though!
Tabasco will do in a pinch for me, sometimes, If'n theres no Louisiana, with a few choice words

Thanks to @Sally Sunshine for the late night welcome, and encouragement, last night! As per her suggestion, I will just paste a copy of my (now edited) note to her:

Hi Sally!
I lurked and followed the NY hatch along beginning to end because I was really excited to learn about hatching my own eggs... Now I'm terrified! I'm not a total moron, I taught myself how to graft fruit trees while on house arrest with our firstborn, have bred canaries, golden retrievers and leopard tortoises... I have two, science based, bachelor degrees, and yet, I've convinced myself I won't get one live chick! We've put in an order to have eggs shipped from CT to CA- Following the many praises I saw in the HAL, I went with the Genesis 1588. I purchased the turner but have gathered, from you fine folks, it's not good to use with shipped eggs.

I need all the advice you can give... Thank you!!!

Welcome Shellee! You can do it! I have a Hovabator 1588 and hatched a couple ducks that were shipped I'm going to try to build a bator myself and see if I can get better results
