Hi,
With each day that draws nearer to hatch date I'm getting more and more nervous for my chicklets. There are 8 eggs in there that are due to hatch I *think* on the 17th. I put them in the incubator on the evening of September 26th (I think??
)
So...they go into "lockdown" mode on the 14th?? (this Sunday) is that correct? And they would be due to hatch anywhere from the 16th to the 18th?
I candled tonight and I can't see a blasted thing, it's driving me nuts. All 8 of the eggs are black except the air sac...but there is some sort of movement in them (turning of a head or something, I would assume)...and I can still see some veining near the air sac in all of them except the weird little Silkie (but the chick moves).
So I lockdown this Sunday and leave them alone and just ride it out?
