Day 12 candling tonight (missed day 10 & 11 from being very sick) so xxfingers crossedxx

Day 13 candle. How do they look? air cells on the small side? Should I keep the bator running dry?

I think... on average... they look pretty good. You've got some pretty rough looking saddle cells, so I certainly wouldn't run any drier than what you are now. Be prepared to jack it to around 70% during lockdown.

Sounds kind of weird when you say it like that...

Since this is it's maiden voyage, I decided to only set the six worst looking (air cells) in the refrigerbator. I had a several others with wobbly air cells and slight saddles, but since I had 6 extra eggs in the order, I could sacrifice them to Barbie's refrigerbator. Of course, if they don't hatch, I won't know whether it's the egg's or the bator's fault. I can always say it's a combination of the two...

Broody hens take all the fun out of hatching chicks! Welcome back, Mike... welcome back!!!
