Update ~ NOTHIN' YET!
Topped up the Humidity, but I did NOT touch the eggs.
I "talk" to them every time I check the eggs with a flash lite.
They will know Mama PP when they finally hatch.

I "Seriously" thought I was going to lose my mind yesterday.
Went to bed after posting, & tonite I had a few Vodka Coolers.
I might just make it to Thursday - LOL

REALLLLLLLLLY Appreciate all the words of encouragment & wisdom ~ it helped calm me down.

I even had a hearty laugh after reading this Helpful hint by "baron renfrew"....THANX again!!!!

For years I stopped turning at day 14 with no noticeable difference in hatch rate. Its finally getting warm! Fix yourself a pina colada and sit in the sun!

Donta worry, man, chicks are on island time! Dey will come when dey will come!

hmmmm it's 11:45PM & not even a hair line crack in any of the eggs.
NOT going to "freak out" YET, but I don't know if there is enough Vodka coolers in the house to calm me down - LOL
IF there is nothing happening by Saturday nite, I'm afraid of how much $ I will spend at Mount Forest.
FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

I hope there's something going on - but even if none of them hatch, it is still a valuable learning experience- the object then becomes to try and figure out what part of the incubation process needs tweaking for the next time. It really does pay to keep detailed, precise records many times each day of the temperature and humidity- I keep records of the room temperature and humidity too, and anything else I've done like candling.
