I moved mine yesterday. I've been just moving them to different turner rows every couple days.

Has anyone tried weighing the eggs for humidity? I was reading that in the BYC Beginners Guide to Incubation. Since the humidity is already high here I was thinking of doing that as well. I set my eggs yesterday and has not been 24 hours yet so I was thinking of weighing them when I went home and divide by 18(before lock down)before lock down to make sure they were losing the neseccary weight.

No I just look at the air cells every 7 days.

That’s what I’m planning on doing. Just gotta make sure I keep track of what row they were in so I don’t accidentally wind up not moving some haha

That’s a good idea.

I wanna candle mine so bad but I’m waiting till dark.

Probably can’t see anything at 3 days anyway.

Rotate them down one every time you do it then you won't have to wrote anything down. I move mine to the right.

You'll see more growth, but nothing too crazy. Day 7 you'll see veins and a chick moving, I'd wait till day 7

Thanks! I’ll do that! Some of mine are already pretty far to the right but maybe I’ll move some to the left ha I’ll figure it out soon lol

Oooohhhhh a chick moving sounds awesome!!!

Should I wait to move the eggs till then too or can I move the eggs now but hold off on candling? Haha
