Mother of 16 chickens

also, there are other eggs yet to hatch.. should i take him/her out of the bator and when?

one of them has hatched! he/she was really energetic at first but now has been just kind of lying there is he/she just tired?

When should my eggs start pipping?

Went into lock down today!

Alot of posts talked about electrolites, what are they for?

Congrats!!

end of day 8 for me! Candled my white eggs all but 1 had obvious blood veins/development! Sooooo excited! Cant wait for day 15 to check the brown ones!

Will my chicks be ok if I can only get the humidity to 30% when it should be 45-50% ?

Also, when I open the lid to add more water, all the humidity escapes! Is there any way to avoid that?

I'm using a little giant brand foam incubator. Im trying to get 45-50% and have only made it to 30%. I have a sponge in there know and that really helped.

Im having trouble keeping up the humidity in the incubator! What can I do?

They are chicken eggs. I dont know what breed,some are white and some are brown

I cant get my humidity up in the incubator, what can I do?
