Who This Is For
You've got fertile eggs on the way — ours or someone else's — and you don't want to open the incubator on day 21 to a bad surprise.
This is built for anyone hatching for the first time (or the first time in a while) who wants exact numbers and a clear day-by-day plan instead of guesswork.
