I think the last 3 are on day 18. I set June 14 so you start to count on June 15 so 15 days till the 30th, +3 days to today 18 days. I still don't feel bad about the safety holes. They do that at hatcheries even day 18, but some times it is hard remembering exactly what day unless you put it on...
Day 19 for the 3 small shipped eggs. Below, and one big Montana egg to the front. The 2hatched Montana eggs hatched on their day 19. I don't approve of safety holes normally, but since these eggs have struggled for so long I decided to help them a bit. The eggs did have movement in the egg...

The second one hatched a reg neck.

Day 19 for Montana eggs.
Day 17 for shipped. But they are in lockdown also, for the saddles and small size. I did take out one plug. I know most of the time you take out both, but only 6 eggs in incubator, and the need to keep the moisture.
