Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

X2 that.
I candle when I turn the eggs right before bed. I figure that setting a clean rubber candler tip on the eggs can't possibly kill them. I don't have to touch the eggs so no guilt there.
There would definitely be more potential for harm or accident in a cabinet rather than a table top like we use.
So far I've candled these shipped quail eggs once a day. Currently standing at an 82% survival rate and they'll go into lockdown today or tomorrow.

Who was it the other day that mentioned they dropped something onto an egg and busted it during candling time?

I forget but, you're probably right it was someone with a cabinet and not a table top incubator...

Um, that was turning during mid-day. I dropped the thermometer on it.

He missed the bear entirely this time. I didn't have a candler within five feet of the eggs.

Oh, it was you that opened the incubator and broke the egg? But-----but-----but----- Aren't you the one that said accidents only happen with cabinets?

When did you get the new incubator?

Oooops, my bad, I didn't know 'more' meant only. Better go write Merriam-Webster about that.

It hasn't arrived yet,,, being the nice man in MN that is sending it to me for free hasn't managed to get it to the PO yet...

Oh come on!! you know I am entitled to a little poetic license.

Ensure that the nice man in MN gets off his rear about that cabinet incubator deal and then we can talk about poetic license.
