Thanks all, I'll be on the road this weekend. So incubator will have to come with me. Good thing pickup has an outlet to plug into. Guess I will need to figure out the sponge trick. Either way, incubator needs water several times in 24 hours. All highway miles. So hopefully I still have a chance of them hatching. Or it's going to be a good lesson in what not to do!

candled the eggs last night after getting back from the trip. had to take eggs/incubator with me to keep track of moisture levels. this was the 1st check at about 7 days... looking like 11 out of 12 are developing nicely. put them back in the same spot where I had them. the one egg looked like it started to develop and quit? has clear area on top with the cloudy area below that. left it in, but will throw that one out if needed on the 14 day check. I think it's too early to tell from last night's check if they were damaged from all that road time, they will get some more road time this weekend too. think I have beginner's luck so far. we will see..
