I set them at 4 PM on the 25th so today will be my lock down day wish me luck !
So far everything has been perfect and I feel this will be a really good hatch....I have only candled once and I won't candle any more even before lock down.
I use to handle the eggs a lot with my past hatches and had very poor hatch rates so I am going to see if it is better to just leave them be.
The first 2 weeks went by so fast, and then the last 7 days have been the longest ever!
I have sat by this LG bator every day when I am not here my daughter gives me a break lol I know it sounds crazy but you know how a LG Bator can swing.
We watched it closely and only adjusted on nights that were really cool I even monitored with a video cam through the night to see if we had fluxing temps but they held steady.
So in 3 - 4 days I guess we will see if our hard work has paid off.
