    Hidden Eggs

    try not to take all of them at once. leave 1 or 2 pcs eggs at the same place, then they should back to the same place to lay again. after they used to lay at the same place you can try take all of the eggs.

    What is the ideal humidity for hatching in an incubator?

    My last hatch was 2 weeks ago, for the first 18 days ~50-55% and last few days ~60-70%. 4 hatched (2 @ day 19, 2 @ day 20) and 6 did not pip the shells out and die inside. I took it out at day 25. Now I'm Incubating another 30 eggs (@ day 9 now) and try to control at ~60-70% for the first 18 days.
