A question for you folks that have done this before. What did you notice first, did you see the egg rocking or did you hear them cheeping inside the egg?

what kind of water source do you have in the incubator? I use little 'shot glass' type cups, like what youd get with a cough syrup bottle. I have two full in my bator and it hovers around 30-40% humidity. If you've got a pool of water in the bottom I'd add a sponge to get it lower. Its not so much of a worry right now but the sooner the better, if the air cells aren't big enough at hatch day the chicks can drown
