Panic is starting to set in...

I'll cross my finger's for you if you cross your's for me. My egg's are due today and I have not seen or heard anything yet. I'm a nervous wreck. I don't know how hen's get through this. It's going to be along day.

Still nothing. I can't believe this. They came from Washington state which obviously a looooooonng way from Maine. I wonder if the postal service jumbled them up or something? I let them sit over night and put them in the bator that afternoon.

I was looking forward to new babies.

I'd candle them tonight if you still haven't seen or heard anything.

But patience isn't one of my virtues

OK. If we're being honest, I'd've candled by now to see what's going on.
But shipped eggs are funky, and I've had too many that get to day 20 and then just fail on me.

I have thought of candling them, but didn't want to disturb them quite yet. What a shame. My temp/hum. levels were the best they have ever been with any of my 3 hatches.

If I candle them how will I know if they are dead?
