OK...I put the 4 that were in the carton fat end (aircell) side up...also put 4 of the ones that were on little pices of carton that way also..Still trying 3 laying on side without support and 2 with pieces of egg carton.....I am so nervous! I soooooooo want them all to hatch....they are looking great when I candle them...moving around wonderfully!

My first hatch was 8 days ago, I just put them on the bottom of the bator, I had 9 out of 14 hatch, they ran all over the other eggs, I almost think that they kept them going, I did not look inside the other eggs to see why they did not hatch, but everyone that pipped hatched. Boy, now you got me thinking, I am getting ready to set 36 eggs now, hmmm something to think about.

This is my first chick, flopped all over the eggs

Boy eggs were just a rolling after the first 3 hatched

I hope my numbers are better than last time...especially since they are all still moving and growing in there ! Last time I didn't have an LED flashlight and the brown ones were hard to see....basically I had NO IDEA if they even made any progress cause I was too scared if I opened them I'd kill them......BOY ISN'T THIS FUN ???????
