I'm not cut out for the worry. I like more control. 5 am, I'm checking eggs. Candling isn't fun! Of the dz eggs I bought, at least 2 weren't fertile -- too clear for any development at this stage. Didn't check every egg. Most are either where they should be, dark with air sack, or hard boiled 🤪. Yeah, micro manage.

So, yesterday I ordered another wafer :idunno:eek: Then this morn find instructions online on "how" to set the wafer temp :he but not trying that until after this hatch is over. Temp pretty stable again so....off to work with this bothering me all day!

Hug your broody hens!!!!!

Breeding goats is so much easier. :old:oops::lol::th

Tonight is lockdown. 😉 I'll disconnect the turner, increase humidity a little and hope for best. If all went well then Fri/Sat should see chicks. 🤞🤞

I'm ready to be done with this part of chicks!

The auction is Saturday. I can buy a few more half grown pullets if this didn't go well 😆 or more chicks cause I'm not putting in the effort to raise if only a couple make it. I'd add more
