They were four and a half weeks... they went outside about 3 days after!

Thank heavens for that - I was begining to envisage all sorts.

Actually I will be keeping the incubator in my bedroom while I'm on holiday - linked to hubby's laptop   Will probably keep it there till they hatch - just this once

Wouldn't trust my cat anywhere near - he catches everything right up to pigeons and very large rats.  Even the Dobes get put in their place.  Here he is with my girls when they were pups.

Well that is one advantage of hatching at this ti;e of year, you can usually get them ouside earlier.  If you hatch earlier, you can expect to keep them inside  between 6 and 8 weeks (by which time they are rather large!

Unless you are a heavy sleeper, I can practically guanatee you, you wont!  My incy is in the spare room next to my bedroom (separated by 2 closed doors and a meter wide landing) and I can hear it constantly though the night - and it sings to you when it is turning the eggs - every hour.  If you insist on having it linked to the computer, I have a feeling your OH will be sleeping somewhere other than the bedroom LOL!
