Is This Normal?

I'm suddenly feeling broody reading this discussion.

Does anyone have a nest of eggs they'd like me to sit on? I promise my underfeathers are soft. I've got a nice stack of books to read, the injured rooster is on the mend. You've got eggs, I've got the time.

Just no straw, please. It gives me the hives.

Yeah no doubt... electricity goes out, I'd have to put the eggs under @CarolinaSunshineFlock s wings....

Um, that's not where the eggs go, woman.

Jay, this is only my 2nd hatching... the first was my broody pullet outside... so this is our first indoor one.... and everything has been going wrong.

How did you keep the eggs warm during the loss of electricity?

I used nothing I was in school so I couldn't and when I got home they were cold already eggs are tougher than you think

I have no doubt about that.... which is why, when I read people basically screaming not to open the incubator during lockdown, I kinda get very quizzical... I mean, really? Do not open the incubator or what?! The world will end? The eggs will explode in a rain of fire? OK THAT would be cool actually....

Exploding eggs are absolutely no fun at all. Stink up the whole house

Yeah, but if they exploded in a rain of fire?!?!? Kewl!!! (sorry, the 12 y/o in me is coming out)

Germy germs can get in.
I'm not a germaphobe yet though so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The air cell gets really big before they hatch... is it a bantam by chance? Sometimes they can hatch a few days early I read..
