They shipped and now

[jtallant]

I am so nervous I almost want to back out of trying to incubate! I have cold feet for sure! Now who's the chicken lol. At night I am positive that I will mess this up so badly and kill all the babies by some stupid mistake. By morning I just can't stand waiting to see if they are here.

I have my new incubator set up and it is holding temp/humidity well, as far as I can make out. I disinfected it too. I am (I thought) prepared for no eggs to hatch because they were shipped, but I would so like for a couple to make it. They are salmon favorelles eggs (standard). Wish me luck...they might be here by Friday (from My Pet Chicken).

Don't fret? lol Okay, I'll work on that. But you are 100% correct on all counts. All I can do is my very best and I don't expect perfect results but boy 1 hatching would be fantastic. Thanks for the words of encouragement
