Catching up..this one died?

@sarisso I think I would like to explore the eggs that have no internal pip if they still show no progress when I get home tonight. Good idea? Bad idea? Advice? I'd love everybodys two cents!

Edit: also, what about the Serama with the internal pip? I hear no noise. Should I do the water test? ,(day23)

Installed a timer for the light, and hung the heater. Brooder is finished, with the exception of bedding. Need to move it into it's final resting spot, and run an extension cord.

Has anyone tried puppy pads for newly hatched chicks? They're more absorbent than paper towels, so I can't see why they won't work as well... or better. Anywho, this is the final product with the slide-in divider inserted:
