Setting eggs in incubator May 3rd...Anyone with me?

[DiamondDust]

Going into lockdown today! I culled two more eggs that were clear, did an "eggtopsy" and they were both infertile. I have 18 eggs going into lockdown...5 Polish and 13 Barnevelders. This is the most nerve wracking part for me...will they hatch or not??

Day 15 for me. I candled at day 7 and didn't see anything so I was going to throw them all out because my bator was at 104 one day thought I lost them all, my daughter convinced me to wait it out and see if they would be developed at day 14. Good thing I listened to her I only had 1 with no development the other 10 I see dark masses, veins and movement

. Going into lock down on Friday. I'm so nervous this is my first hatch.

I'm so glad for you that your daughter convinced you to wait! Your first hatch is so exciting...I hope it goes really well for you!!

Oh, and I finally candled them today. Tossed one clear one and I am a little worried about some small air cells on my Marans eggs but only time will tell. 16 were set and 15 made it to lockdown!

I had set 30, and 24 made it to lockdown. I went ahead and left a few I was unsure of, as I am new to hatching. The waiting is tough, as I have been checking and turning them. I feel like I should be doing more, so, last night I sang to them!
