Wow I didn't realize

This is my first time incubating. I knew the eggs would lose weight during incubation and development but I never realized that I would be able to feel the difference. When I turned them today they just felt so much lighter than they have the past two weeks! This is just so neat!

Great! Check your humidity and make sure to bump it up when you go to lockdown.

I was going to weigh mine before I set them and didn't. Now I really wish I did so I could prove to myself I'm not crazy and I really do feel a difference!

If you keep them at 35% humidity (between 20% & 40%) for the first 18 days, they will loose the correct amount of weight, giving them room enough (and air) enough to hatch out when you bump it up to 65% at lockdown.
