I'm hoping they do.

I'm already attached to these little guys, lol. I talk to them when I take them out and mist and cool them.

So I have to take them out and mist and cool them down? When do I start that? and how often?

I don't have an auto-turner so I have to hand turn. I can't just do them like my duckie eggs... I just turn them 4 or 5 times a day and mist them once a day. I do have them at a very slight angle now but reading about the cells, it says to have them straight up for 36-48 hours. Then angle them.

I don't have a scale either.....

Also, since they are in with my duck and chicken eggs do I take the little vent things out of the top of the bator?

That should be ok. Just angle them up farther.

I keep mine out. I don't really know what you're supposed to do
