You've got time yet. You will probably start seeing them move abit then will hear peeping!!

It's Alex here... YEAH! I heard one egg peeping when I was getting ready for bed last night! It is still peeping this morning but no pip yet. The other 3 eggs are still quiet. Maybe I will have a chick today. How long can it peep inside the egg with no hole for more air? I don't want it to suffocate! I know, HANDS OFF. But now I understand why mom has such a hard time leaving the eggs alone. I have to keep looking at my KEEP OUT sign that I put over the hatcher! I will let you know this afternoon if I have anything happening. Everybody else sounds like they are doing great- congrats! I have to give a presentation today for the school district for a competition I am in, I hope I can concentrate enough to do a good job. I dreamed last night that I ran off the stage yelling I'VE GOT TO GO CHECK MY EGGS. Yikes! Wish me luck.

Natalie- See, I told you they would be ok. If you hear peeping then the low temp didn't hurt them! Maybe we will both have chicks today.

Good luck today Alex!

My bator windows have fogged up! I can't see a darned thing. One was shaking last night and early this morning. Day 19. Humidity 68 temp 99.5.

Now I understand humidity problems. I checked with my DH and the humidity dropped to 54%. There's not much room in the bator. I might fit another sponge. Should I open it and try? I shouldn't close the vent to much, its a quarter open.
Confused!
