Got one piping today, on day 19 it has all day and only broke two tinny circles

This little one is going to make it hard for me for the next few days waiting on the others.

Our incubator is doing great, and it's super easy to keep humidity right. We candled two eggs last night, one Silkie and one mix, and they both had the beginning veining. My girls ask everyday, "how many days left?" Even though I put up a calendar for them.
21 days seems like forever, I was much more relaxed with our broodies.

Congrats on the pip.

Some of the eggs are wiggling around when I whistle to them. No peeping yet.

Hi! my 9 eggs are going on 24 hours in the incubator this evening. How often would it be OK to candle them? I don't plan to candle them all day long, just once a day, if it's permitted?

SO I have only been posting along with this thread but havent set anything yet. Well a few of my girls picked up laing so I will collect for the next week or so and then set. I will be setting Marans and also F1 Olive Eggers and maybe also some F2 Olive Eggers.

Ok so I gave into temptation and candled a few of the eggs I had set yesterday and now defintly see the air sacks and small dark red circles now have something to look at later. Another question though what happens if a egg is very porous? On another note our Rhodebar eggs arrived today wish me luck very nervous about them.
