So, I have over 20....I'm refusing to count them.
I put 12 eggs in the incubator......"There won't be any more hatches this year"..... just under 3 weeks ago. 10 showed good embryos and one a dubious embryo on day 16.
Last night I turned off off the turner, upped the humidity, and took out the dividers (day 19....a bit late as I had had a day of travel to see a sick relative). I photographed the position of the eggs this morning
I've just gone to top up the water and one egg moved whilst another had a 'pip' albeit at the wrong end of the egg! Now, this is only fairly early on day 20, but (as always), I am SO excited.
I thought I'd 'miss all the action' as I am doing a charity walk at the time when most should hatch (if any hatch at all, that is!). OH was really rather pleased as he was looking forward to looking after the hatch with me out of the way. I'm now hopeful to have a few 'early birds'.
I'm just realising what a very boring pic. of an incubator with 11 unhatched eggs makes.....
