Thought I should update.

Glad I started incubating before we hit this cold snap. Collecting half-frozen eggs for the bator would not have worked out.

Humidity stayed up and is at 52%. I'm keeping it between 50% and 55%.

No clue. I don't candle till day 7, then again on 14 and 18.
If I don't have set days I'd be pulling eggs out of the bator at any time because I have no self-control.

Omg that is sooo same with me . I always try to set a schedule but sometimes I can’t help it and candle on day 4-5 to see if there’s a lil heartbeat. During lockdown I go crazy cuz I can’t candle anymore but I’m won If they’ve internationally pipped
