Ok, today's Friday right? Lol. (I didn't sleep last night..)

#1 internally pipped Wed.
#2 started internally pipping Thursday morning.

I'm not so much worried about #1, but #2 is making me nervous.

I dont think its the thermometer. And it keeps going to 102, im worried it way go higher though. Then it likes to shoot down to 95! Urg!

I really think it's that thermomter. That's what mine did when it broke. Does your mom have a meat thermometer?

That sounds funny, but my husband has a meat thermometer that is SO acurate.

Candy thermometer, meat thermometer, aquarium thermometer will all work. Heck on oral human thermometer will do in a pinch. You don't need 20+ in cost, just one that reads.

Utah: Glad to hear that Herr Hitler is doing better. I wonder what that's all about? (And we have to rename that duck.)

Hey Julie!


You guys, I'm such a BAD mom!!! I was up all night every 2 to 3 hours checking humidity and for a pip.. and I totally slept through my phone alarm. I woke up when school started.

So my 3rd grader is skipping school today. That is SO BAD!! I feel like the worst mom in the world. Particulary after working in Education.

QJ, don't feel bad, she has a science lesson in waterfowl reproduction at home today.

If you are concerned, candle the egg and check its status. You know the dril steam up that bathroom and break out the light.

Really all we have is the one in my bator, and a brokenone in the closet

I just realized that the plugs for my bator are gone should I tape the holes? When I let my moms friend borrow the bator, her 2 year old lost them I bet!

QJ- I woke up at 7:45 and thought it was 6:45. DD has to be at school at 8:45 so I got her there on time, but barely and she missed the bus, lol.
It's snowing. Yesterday was like 72. Sometimes I hate missouri weather.

I never use the plugs. And get the cheap aquarium thermometers, they are only 3 at walmart and more reliable than digital I think. Do you have a people thermometer you can use to check the one you have?

 

[CelticOaksFarm]

DG, don't forget the holes allow fresh air in. Closing them off depends on your temp and humidity level.

How long do I give #2 to internally pip. That's the one I'm worried about. He's been working Almost 2 days now.
