The odds are against me!

Have you cracked one of the eggs to check for fertility?

bit of a mute point as he has movement in his 4 eggs so I'd say that already indicates fertility.

I'm just baffled how temps are being controlled without a thermostat. I'd hate being the reason for a deformed hatch which is why I double and triple check temps, not so much to make them develop but to avoid them developing badly.

My first hatch was with a rubbermaid tote and a 'shop' light (light bulb that has a clamp that you simply plug in) and a thermometer to adjust the height of the lamp over the eggs.
You got this, good luck!

Yes, the possibility of improper development is there, but they are all looking good so far (from what I can see candling.) And I check temp a couple of times every day and it is all even and good, so I am going to just run with it.

Great news! All are developing well, and I consistently see movement! I am up to a dozen eggs now!

Some good and bad news. We have two early quitters... but one egg is almost on day 12! And it is looking great!!

We have a hatchling!!!
