What's your maintenance schedule for eggs in the 'bator?

I think I looked in the glass door of the incubator when I woke up, when I got home & before bed at the minimum. When they hit day 52 I would ask them to come out.

Lol...me too! Checked the thermostat a zillion times a day. I'm much calmer with this second clutch, but I still sneak a peek through the glass at least once a day.

I use clear tubs so about once a week I peer into them all through the sides. If I don't see anything wrong they won't get touched or opened for 60 days! I get nearly 100% hatch rate so I'm not sure what the benefit is of opening them for air.

Me too. I have a glass door incubator so I dont need to open it much. Near the end I may remove press n seal and put on a glass lid so I can see the pips clearer. I dont even cut my eggs, I just leave them alone until they pip, I have enough animals and plants to take care of.

I also tape my press n seal down because my fan has loosened it up at times drying out the mix a bit. In that case I may spray a little water on vermiculite but never directly on eggs.

I dont know for being my first clutch I think I am doing pretty well. I check on them maybe every other day if that. I have noticed when I check on them more often time seems to slow down. My whole method of set it and forget it seems to be working much better. Heck I have to check on a calender to see what day it is. day 22 or 23 i think lol.

You could probably cut them now if you want to see them just don't take them out of the egg?
