That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure. Been a long day. We started our girl scout cookie booths, and I'm the cookie mom. We had 3 booths going today, so I ran all over the dang place. But we sold 667 cookies.

Wow, that is a lot of cookies. Nice job! I confess, I ate some thin mints tonight.

I'm still having a hard time figuring out how to determine if eggs are fertile. I think these are, but I'm not positive. Sorry I don't have better pictures than what I could take with my phone.

I didn't see if anyone answered this, but I say fertile sooo SET ALL THE EGGS!!!!
I am not sure on 1 cuz can't see it well, but the others look good to me!

Okay, really stupid question, but its been a year since I incubated, usually have a Silkie do it.  Do I rotate on day 1?  They will be in 24 hours tonight at midnight.  Temp has held steady all day long?  I couldn't remember if I should just leave them for 2 days, but I'm pretty sure that I rotated last time after the temp was steady

My turner starts turning the the day I set them, but don't stress over it. Just try to turn them an odd number of times per day, so they spend the night on the opposite side every night. There ar exceptions, like loose air sacs you don't turn for a few days.

@Happy Chooks so if a contestant had to withdraw because they won't be home at/after hatch time, and I bought their eggs, can I set theirs for them so they are still eligible? I have tons of my own eggs for myself, so I'd just like for them to still be able to participate if that is ok? Please?
