Does anyone else have any experience with this? I bolded the important parts if you don't want to read all the words. I did get one response that I saw (sorry if I missed one) and it was helpful but thought maybe others would have insight. Thanks!

Yes, it's possible. Do you feel like reading sciency stuff about it?

It is gross? I like sciency, not gross. Should I just Google?

I would love that. I am an engineer so sciency is what I do! Thanks so much!

It's in regards to chicken eggs though. If you click on the PDF button you can read the entire 30 page paper written on it............I didn't read all of it.

OH MY GOODNESS! Chicks everywhere! Congrats everyone on their peepers (I didn't see any quackers, honkers, or screechers (that would be peefowl and goats; I have no idea what sound and emu makes) but congrats if there are some of those too).

Just to join the convos I have missed:
- It is gloomy is Texas today.
- I don't have a basement either. I incubate on a L shaped section of counter top in my kitchen. It is a constant temp and we walk past the eggs constantly for viewing.
- I am on day 10 of 28... so still waiting.
- I can't wait to hear with your kiddos in class thought of the hatching. EXCITING!
- Glad the grandson became more interested in the hatch.

And my chick is a meme. I am one proud Mama.

Quote: are you sure your not seeing white chicks vs dark chicks? and are you sure you dont have cold and hot spots in the bator? you have calbrated thermos / hygros?
you have a fan running at those temps?
you are early for duck eggs, I would let them in if they dont stink and recandle in a few days

He's better but has a kink in his neck. Makes it difficult for him to turn his head without turning his shoulders.
