Dang. Thats a much better idea than all these number tattoos Ive been getting. Running outta room

I'm so glad you posted this. I'll cancel my appointment.

Could you post what flashlight you use for candling again? I probably wrote it down, but I'll never find it. I could go look it up on the NYD thread, but I'm a bit too lazy for that. Thanks!

I have a question for everyone.  On what day do you candle your eggs?

Before setting, day 5, day 10, day 18 before lock down. If something looks iffy at day 10, I'll candle again in a couple days.

They are bourbon reds.

I got a farm inovators incubator, I may return it because i can't put my thermometers in. I use two, but they there is no where to put them, unless I can get a rack removed. What does everyone do for theirs?

I have a FI 4200 and I laid a water wiggler w/a meat thermometer probe inside it and laid that
right on the rack. I also used an aquarium thermometer with the cord and put that through the vent plug and hang it between eggs at their midsection to try to get the most accurate reading for the eggs.

I set late Friday night, so I guess I'm in! I hope I'm right that there is nothing wrong with setting eggs on Friday the Thirteenth. I'm hatching EEs and Campines.

I set mine late Friday afternoon. I decided if something goes wrong I can blame it on the date and not the person hatching....lol

SET ALL THE EGGS.

Right after this I dropped an EE egg, so I'm one short. The thread is moving too fast and I'm not sure if anyone answered my question about stacking eggs in a turner? Only a few. After that I'll post my numbers.
