Yay! So happy you've made it to lock down with evidence of life in all of your eggs.
Isn't it amazing how much that air cell can grow at the very end. I guess they are 'bigger' then and consume more of their egg and so the air cell is able to expand (for lack of a scientific reason-- I'm no professional).
Good Luck! And sit on your hands!! I know the torture of which you speak.. Ha!
I just had a hatch that had it all... a chick that hatched in the matter of 20 minutes and one that took well over 24 hours... and felt the need to zip twice while I watched her. Accckkk!!
They know best!! Nature's fine design... and every hatch you learn something new and tweak your bator or your method just a touch to improve.
This is the world's BEST science experiment... and longest too... Ha! Because you never really get to the end-- and we are always learning with different eggs and bators and climates, etc.
I'm thinking supportive calming soothing thoughts for you over here...
And for the eggs I'm thinking HURRY UP AND HATCH WILL YA!!! Ha ha Ha!!
I'm so excited for you!
