We check on them daily to ensue they have enough food and water. And yesterday one of them had clearly had enough of this sitting-on-eggs malarkey and was found on a perch. With the eggs abandoned and cold.
We have been here before with cold eggs and so nothing ventures, nothing gained the incubator was brought into action.
We checked the eggs - if they arent fertile then 2 weeks in , you can hear fluid sloshing around when gently shaken. As it is a tight fit for all the eggs in our (small) incubator, we had to jettison one
it looks as if it has been fertilised. And development stopped.
So the remaining eggs have been put in the incubator
And they need turning regularly. And the water topped up to maintain the humidity.
And we shall see whay happens around the 28th June.
