so I had to set early due to times I got eggs.

I've got clears for ALL my mille fleur cochins...

I also see a bloody ring thing on all my Polish...

There are others that are showing clear too. Maybe my deal on eggs that I thought was so great wasn't so great after all...

I just hope the silkie hatches. We only got one cause it was all she had, and it's the only one my daughter cares about. It's also the one I care the most about. My heart hurts.

Home for lunch and to check on the puppy.

Me again on the humidity.... Incubator at 10% and as mentioned before, I dont think it goes down any further. if i put water in the tray it shoots up to 55 and gradually peters down to 10... any suggestions to keep constant?

I have a hava-bator with fan and turner.

thank you!

well my turner broke on me yesterday and dumped all of my eggs, so I went out and bought a new Turner only 1 egg cracked, hopefully these babies will still survive!

Oh noo! Bet you get some that are fine. You must have a cabinet? Good luck. You will know soon when you can candle some.

uh oh!! I have a brinsea and i heard the turner clicking which means the eggs are too heavy, so I take the eggs off whenever i hear it. and over night i keep it off. I dont want it to break!
