How many made it to day 18? Did you candle them when you boosted the humidity?

No I didn't candle all of them.....just a few. I was afraid of dropping one, figured it best to be a surprise.

Mistake?

Yes ma'am.

Humidity just went back in the other direction. It is at 70%, speckledhen says the range is up to 75%.....so I'll not worry.

you are fine. that range is accurate. that is the advice i have followed and had much success.

Then you and I will both be surprised!

Maybe I'll ask Judy to help me candle them tonight.

Maybe Miss Jayne will come over and help too!

If you didnt candle them before Day 18, I wouldnt open the bator to do it now. I rarely candle after about Day 15-16.

Alrighty then.....they are sealed in for the duration.

Since I am learning from this (my first time) I will know what better to do next time.

I can wait for surprises.

I swear I saw a couple eggs wiggle in there. Is that possible or am I imagining things?

Judy comes in and checks this process quite regular now, I think she is getting anxious too.

while your eyes have probably gone bad from staring so much (LOL), I would have to say you were NOT imagining things. I do the same thing....I will yell to hubby, come quick, and he'll run, only to see me looking longingly into the bator. I will say, is one wiggiling, and he will be a dear and come look-see with me. he will sometimes see it, sometimes not, but always say yes. I think he would like to run away sometimes, LOL.

It is hard to tell if they wiggle....by the time you figure one just moved, you are trying to figure out if someone walked across the floor, you bumped the bator, or anything else like it. Then.....BAM! it happens again.

and you are glued to the bator for several more hours, waiting for the big day
