I think there needs to be a sticky that everyone MUST read before incubating eggs. It can be titled
WARNING-incubating eggs will make you a crazy person!
WARNING:
-you will clear out your oldest child's room for the incubator and brooder. (sorry Cassandra but you can't move back home now)
-you will obsess about temperature, humidity and candling.
-you will read every thread on BYC forum about incubating. Twice.
-you will lose precious hours out of your day checking the eggs. Again and again. And again. And just one more time!
-you will go into Lockdown sooo excited until you realize what a long process it really is. From pip to hatch will make you certifiably insane.
-you will constantly worry that you did something wrong. What is taking so long? That one doesn't look right. Do I have enough humidity? It's day 22, I must have done something wrong.
-you will have to explain to your boss why you are late for work. "But my eggs are pipping!"
-you will have to explain to the officer why you are speeding. "But my eggs are pipping!"
-and when..miracle of miracles..your first egg hatches you will send pictures to everyone you know.
-when your husband texts you back and says "she has your eyes" you don't know whether to hug him or smack him.
-and you will start it all over again in 7 days....
