your thread on popcorn and tatty is really good btw - i'm not brave enough to try candling eggs as i'll probably kill them, if they're fertile will they swell and grow and collapse/mold if they're not? its really cold here in the uk at the moment so dont' want to take them out the incubator if i can avoid it, not to mention the hovabator goes mad (really cold then really hot) when i open it to check them. you've got your eggs in open tupperware containers - does this require higher humidity or anything? i've got lids on mine with holes in. how often do you check your moisture levels? do you add water to the containers with the eggs in or just to the base of the hovabator? if you add to the containers how do you know how much to add? sorry for all the questions - am 5 weeks into the whole 'egg' thing and hate not knowing the answers to everything!
