According to a published paper by Varricchio, et al, the
Troodon formosus dinosaur brooded her eggs in the sand with the pointy end down. I found that interesting since quite a few of my chickens' eggs are being incubated in the same position.
One of these times that I want to send a hug like this:
I will accidentally instead send a smack like this:
Because they look so very close to me. Two circles. One is pink. One is blue. And the animation is super slow on the popup window where I choose the emoticon that I want. Time and again, I almost pick the wrong one.
If anyone ever sees me do that, please PM me immediately so that I can go back and edit in the proper emoticon. Can you imagine how awful that would be?
Anyway, I didn't end up candling tonight.
I have so neglected this hatch because I've been running around so much. I keep forgetting to check the temp on the incubator and I haven't been very responsible with the tilting of the Brinsea. But I haven't given up hope.
