      chrismahon replied to the thread Help me please.
      Day 22-26 is too vague. At day 22 it may be OK, at 26 it is probably dead. I did open an egg at day 25 and killed the chick in it, so...

      chrismahon replied to the thread Incubator problem.

      chrismahon replied to the thread Incubator problem.
