Well, if you have to go to work you won't be able to peek,
unless you work from home then you might not get any work done at all!
Best not to peek too much while hatching is going on.

Exactly! Broody hen's don't have those little windows in the top of them to look through like an incubator does!

I know!

I just checked temp in the coop and looked in the nest box but didn't touch. One baby has a bib but the other has the tiniest little bow tie it's hardly even there.

Current outside temp 109* Ruby's temp 95* 42% h

I ended up with all eggs in the incubator. I'm pretty sure the one Turken x Bresse isn't viable. Waiting on the Turken x Bresse x CCL eggs now. They're the eggs that I found uncovered in the nest box when Ruby switched nests and brought in.
