Nearing Hatching Day

Yesterday I took the first setting of eggs and moved them to the bottom hatching tray. They should start moving around any day now. I need to get out there and check the humidity, as soon as Mikey goes to sleep. I candled as I was moving and 20 are viable. 3 were unfertile and 2 had quit. I knew the last time I candled they probably weren't going to do anything, but I prefer to leave them in to be sure. I also got some eggs in the mail yesterday, I was going to set them last night, but decided to wait until the weekend, b/c I want to keep the hatches a week apart for now, until I get the hang of staggered hatches. So right now I have 20 in the hatcher, 40 in the turners outside, and I think 26, in the Dickey inside. I have another batch ready to set, so I will keep up the weekly thing and set them Saturday. That will put me hatching every sat for the next 3 weeks.
