Well G2 is right on track! V1 is still losin g quite slowly but it's also a considerably larger egg. It has two more days for its weekly weight loss so we shall see.

Awesome!
Hope V1 catches up!

I lied, V1 only had one day and is behind by 4g. See how it does this next week.

Update for week two on all the eggs. G1 and G2 are right on track with their weight loss! V1 lost a gram note this week but is still behind. Because the other two are doing so well I dont want to mess with anything so we decided to lay a silica packet on V1 to see if it helps draw a little more moisture out of the egg. Fingers crossed we can slowly get it caught up.

It is now week three for all the eggs. G1 was shy a couple grams this week. G2 is pretty much right on track. V1 is still behind but slowly losing an extra gram every week. So with all that being said, we are gonna lower the humidity a little this week and see what happens. By next week we might beable to start sewing some wiggling if they are indeed alive.

This is week 4 and the eggs are all doing pretty good. They are on track or almost on track. Best part....ALL ARE ALIVE!! We did the tilt test with great results and they all passed the warmth test. We even got a wiggle out of G2!! I also treated my self to and Easter gift and have two chicks coming in April. Yey!!
