Day 20- getting closer. All the eggs still have movement in them. A little less yellow today and a little more dark in the shell. I think I will stop rotating my eggs on Sunday night. Meaning Monday no turning until hatch.

I’m just curious, but why are you going to stop turning them on day 22 when they have a hatch date of 26?

I thought we’re supposed to stop turning 3 days ahead, not 4?

Mainly it’s because of work. I will be at work all day Monday so I won’t really be able to turn them. I might be able to turn them once or twice but for the most part there won’t be anyone to turn them. A day earlier shouldn’t hurt.

Day 21- only a few more days. Seeing more black and less yolk each day. Still seeing some wiggles still. I have been trying to talking to the eggs as I turn and candle them.

Day 22- so close now.

Egg1
Think this one has quit on me. It has no movement and bruise like coloring on the back of the egg.

Egg2 still has lots of movement that is visible best from the back of the egg.

Egg3

Egg4 small air cell but still moving.

Egg6

Can’t wait to meet the babies.

Day 23- Tonight we go into lockdown. I have some good movement in 3 of the 4 eggs I know are still kicking. Egg one I think died over the weekend. The last egg is hard to tell because it’s got lots of speckled dark grey spots. But it moves all the same.
