Just wondered how the eggs were doing and how long was left?
It might sound strange but soon I will have to switch my incubator off. Not to seem derogatory but it is like switching off a life support machine!
There are still five eggs in their but a time comes when enough is enough. Nothing has pipped or hatched for a couple of days now so I have to realise they are duds.
I'm really pleased with the 7 from 12 though as the norm with eggs sent through the post is usually 50% hatch apparently.
Hope yours do well for you!
PS I'm a bit embarrassed about the lack of piccies of mine but there is a lot going on in my life just now, and to be honest I can't find camera and can't be botheredd to look too hard!

. I've candled the eggs a few times, but to be quite honest I can't really see anything! 3 of the eggs have paler shells than the others and I can see the air sac and a blob (of sorts, though doesn't look chick shaped) in them, I have a feeling they might be duds. The other 9 have all got the air sacs developing at about the same as on pictures I've seen, but as the shells are a really dark brown I can't see anything at all in the dark bit. Wednesday is Day 21 so I suppose in theory I could expect something to start happening on Tuesday if yours and Jonny's are good indicators. I'm feeling almost the same as when I was waiting for my first grandchild to arrive 
All jittery!!
Temp is over 50deg C (Temp guage only goes up to 50) at floor level directly below lamp and humidity is at 70% with all the water they spill! It seems quite hot but they don't usually lie down directly under it I love to watch em doing there Michael jackson impression i.e moonwalking (usually the LS's) and they are even trying to fly now and again!
