I then waited, per the instructions turns, 12 hours (no activity) before creating the zip line and opening the air pocket. After...

Okay, so my broody bantam just up and stopped sitting on her last two eggs. She'd already hatched three, I guess she was tired of waiting... one egg was dead, and the other was only just hanging on. It was so cold... so I put it in my incubator quick as I could, and hatched a healthy, happy...
