So glad you're doing better and will finally be able to be home.

Yeah I don't get my hopes up on going home until they actually give me discharge papers

I have the shipped egg's in my incubator sitting in the turner, but haven't plugged the automatic turner on yet. I added a few egg's from my own flock in there with them, so it's looking pretty full in there this time.

So exciting! My fingers are crossed for a great hatch! How long do you allow them to sit without turning?

Ok all thanks so much for the tips. I’ll be assisting tonight once my daughter is asleep.
Also glad to hear you’re on the mend @FortCluck.
And lastly, chick #8 is a Black Birchen Marans. I wasn’t sure which color she was when she first hatched.

For just an extra day, because of those shipped one's. I'm trying to allow more air-cell settling time, but at the same time to get them started on the way to development.

Well if he’s anything like my hubby he only glances at the bator. He doesn’t obsessively stare at it like me, AKA the chicken possessed one

Here is a picture of progress from we’ll call noon (close enough). And I for sure heard chirping from this egg because it chirped and rocked at the same time. So if it’s chirping that means it’s getting air correct?

Lucky you! My husband doesn't want to do anything about the chicken stuff except having to listen to me talk about them.
