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.

Good luck to you too Pat , I know it must be hard having to go to work and wait the whole time.

I would be losing my mind, I am a nervous wreck I keep trying to do everything to keep my mind off the bator till I hear some peeping.
 
3 pips now! But no zipping yet... I'm trying to stay busy. I need to clean house. But I keep looking in the bator!!!
