wiggle, no wiggle, wiggle, no wiggle...

I have 20 eggs in lockdown and I'm paranoid. On day 18 they were wiggling like crazy, now today on day 20 they're not wiggling at all!!! I've read horror stories about chicks being fully grown and then dying before they hatch. Temp is 99-100 and humidity has been between 70%-74%. Ugh.

There's time yet but you could always candle them and/or hold the egg to your ear to see if you can hear clicking or peeping. Some float their eggs in a bowl of warm water to try and detect movement.

Good Luck

Thanks, Pete. I'm trying to be patient.

LOVED the progressive pics of your assisted macaw hatch, BTW!!!

I think we're going to have to come visit. My back is killing me from hunching over the bator. This is all YOUR fault!!!
