Today, we increase the temperature just a hair, increase the humidity, and stop turning the eggs. Inside the incubator, we have also put down a nonslip mat to make the first steps of the chicks as stable as possible- their bodies are so delicate, it is easy for them to accidentally slip, splay their legs, and permanently damage their feet and tendons. Does that liner look familiar? It's pretty much the same as the nonslip material you might find under a carpet.
We also increase the ventilation, opening a couple of air holes in the top of the incubator. And now, the wait begins!

| Waiting is hard! But we hope you are as excited as we are! |
