Ten Little Indians

The new eggs (10 of them!) arrived this morning and are now in the incubator. Along with a hydrometer and not one, not two, but three thermometers. In order to increase the humidity, I've also included a wet rag. I've seen people use sponges but I discovered this afternoon when I was prepping the incubator that I don't actually have any sponges. Hopefully the damp rag will work just as well. I'll keep a close eye on the humidity and if it isn't holding I'll make an emergency grocery store run tomorrow.

As you can see, they're a lovely mix of greens and blue greens. The one in the lower left hand corner is particularly lovely. Hopefully the chicks that hatch out of them will be equally beautiful. ;-)
