Way out in the Middle of Nowhere

Newer laptop, forgive me if I scream a few times. I get random glitches when I type for too long. So we've been incubating eggs for a while now and this is the first year that I've had a ton of issues with it. Two sets of eggs  have died within the shell before I could even sneak them under a mama goose.
