On day 3 of trying to hatch an egg in my boobs

[Poultrybonkers]

Can you please clarify what you meant by that, @Poultrybonkers ? I'm nervous as hell, but baby seems to be right on track to me?

the egg should be completely dark i have eggs due the 21st that are already dark shouldn't be able to see through the egg

Maybe because it's a bantam?

It's probably developing slower because of the lower temperature and is just a couple days behind.

I just...don't roll over. Lmao. I sleep on my back or sometimes my side, very carefully of course.

It's amazing how your brain kicks into a different gear when you have to be careful with something fragile. I usually sleep like a log, but when I had hip surgery and was supposed to only sleep on my back, I never rolled over, even though it was very uncomfortable and I was dying to. Then again when I was pregnant, and again when I had to keep the babies in bed with me for a while. Your subconscious is staying alert even when you're sleeping, making sure you don't hurt whatever fragile thing you're taking care of. Of course, that's certainly not a guarantee and plenty of people roll over onto their wounds/babies/eggs, but it does work a lot of the time.

Do you think baby is okay? He is still moving. Is there any chance he might just be a smaller baby peep?

Should I still boost humidity tomorrow? If not, how do I know when to boost it?

I just saw this. Day 14 of silkies...my wiggle butt looks a LOT bigger than these so I don't think he's far behind, if at all. Maybe silkies are different?

Don't stress too much. You're at the end and whatever's going to happen is going to happen. I don't know how practical it's going to be to boost humidity in your bra without having a wet shirt, which probably isn't a good idea at work. Can you get a little humidity gauge to put in there and see what you're working with? It might be high enough. They sell little round ones at the pet store. Once you find out the humidity at work, you can decide where to go next. Higher humidity is more important after external pip anyway and lockdown doesn't need to be as strict as everyone makes it out to be. It is important not to jostle the little guy as much as possible just so he can get into position but I've also had plenty hatch after hatched chicked knocked the eggs all over.

Do you have the possibility of working from home? Lockdown is just a couple of days anyway, it won't be too disruptive if you can swing it. At home you'll have better control of the humidity and temperature. Office AC's can be brutal. I don't know where you are in the Caribbean and how serious your coronavirus situation is, if they've sent you home yet, but if not, you could use the threat of the global pandemic as a justification to ask to work from home for a while

Thank you! No one will much mind me having a wet shirt at work, though I'd be a bit worried about temperature. I'm hoping to get around that with a warm wet sock lol.

Unfortunately I can't...my company doesn't take that too seriously and they definitely don't have any accommodations for workers. :/ But we shall see. There's a chance they will shut us down today due to no sales because of the Coronavirus thing since I work in the travel industry...

Good luck! If they don't send you home, you could at least ask them to ease up on the AC for the next couple of days... Do they know about boob egg? That would be pretty cool and entertaining if I had that happening in my office... I imagine people might be accommodating with the AC if they were rooting for a boob egg to hatch

They know lol. I've asked them to turn it down a few times and they do but only as long as they aren't hot. I swear they are human furnaces lol. I always wear a couple layers cus I get cold.
