I’m so excited! 20 days feels like an eternity!

Haha! Trust me after lockdown it's even WORSE!

I *may* have some eggs to set for/in March. Don’t know yet. Lol. It’ll depend on what my birds decide to do; probably be duck eggs if that’s the case. otherwise I’ll be taking a short break til April! Haha. Either way I’ll come along for the ride with you all!

I know! I am always anxious during lockdown. I must confess that I once took a day off work to monitor a hatch...

HAHA! Thankfully my job is an Etsy shop so I do it all from home and don't have to leave my babies!

Lol your lucky. I hate having to work on a hatch day! I did for one of my pekin hatches and I missed the first hatchling. I came home to find that she hadn’t waited for me!
Ever since I’ve tried to set it so the predicted hatch day starts on a Friday or a weekend. Then I can watch incubator tv

Haha! I love that.

Me too! Incubator tv is much better than the news...

Yay!
How do the air cells look? I have some shipped silkie eggs on day 6 on the February thread that all were saddled and/or detached. They did travel a long way though. Incubating them upright.

Same issues, but not too bad. My last couple shipped eggs were about the same and I still got 50% hatch.

Just stuck 4 eggs under my broody. 2 EE, 1 australorp, and 1 wyandotte, and possible fathers are ameraucana and Japanese bantam. Idk if giving a broody eggs when daytime temps are below freezing, but we will see. I’ve been waiting to catch my EE/leghorn laying an egg so I could set one of hers.
