Setting 28 eggs tonight, feel free to join me.

I put them in the evening (7 PM) of Wednesday March 9th, so the 21st day was Wednesday evening the 31th. Today would be day 23rd at 7:00 PM.

Usually don't past 23rd day, but that is up to you. I'm not a real expert on this. I've just been doing it for five years. I just would start smelling them rotting and that is a nasty smell.

Wednesday at pm I hit day 21, thursday 22, friday 23, today 24....two just hatched. They were number 5 and 6....don't know if there is any more that have a chance...I did not like the way the egg cartons worked out....liked it better when they layed on the paper towels on the wire mess.

I also think that the days I had the heat in the house off and it got cold, really hurt me. Things were going great before that.

My mistakes.... 6 out of 41 is really bad....but I think I had 10 or so that ere not fertile.
