newlyweds that's exciting! I've heard of still air incubators taking longer than forced air. I hope you get so see a chick tonight!

I'm not positive but I think your temps need to be higher in in a still air incubator. I think it's 101, you should look it up. I could have read wrong. Good luck!

How long have they been pipped for? If you add to much humidity now they'll drown. What's your humidity? Some of mine that pipped took at least 12 hours to start zipping.

I had to put in small bowls of water, with towels in them to get the humidity to 65

Wyysebuck, are you sure it's not a rotting egg smell??? Eggs can "explode" in an incubator. If that's the case you need to get the rotting egg out.

Give it time. I had one pip on day 19, a few on day 20, and several on day 21 & 22. It's l over the place! And some pop as late as day 23 & 24 I've heard.

Good Luck during lockdown! I am on day 21, and phew it's been exhausting. I have 4 hatched and 4 more pipped. I actually had to help one out, and that was terrifying but I think it's going to be OK. I haven't slept much in 2 days so I'm hoping to sleep well tonight and see more chicks in the...

I have one chick out and 2 pips! So exciting! I'll be up all night!

Yeah, walmart or home depot.

I use a small LED maglite to candle my eggs. As for the egg cartons, I cut mine down really low to be sure the chicks can get out without a problem.

I'm very excited about my olive eggs! The holes are over the 2 water troughs. That way I can get the aquarium tubing in there if I need to. Since this picture I've had to add 2 small containers of water (with rags in them) to get the humidity up. I think I'm all set now. The reason I went...

I went into lockdown today! I found it all somewhat unsettling. I hated taking all the eggs out and leaving the lid off for a few minutes. But it's actually heating back up quite quickly. My humidity is at 60% and I think it's still going up so that's good. I took the vent plugs out. . ...

So what do you guys see this late in the game of candling? I am on day 17-18 and all I can see is the air sac really. In a few lighter eggs I can still see veins and a little movement. I feel like 2 days ago I could see a lot more! I guess this is a good thing??

How do you keep your humidity up? Mine drops from 45 to 15 everyday! I'm so worried that during lockdown it won't hold.

I have 3 thermometers too. They vary from 99-101. But i tend to go with the mercury one.

I know how you feel. I set my first set of eggs 2 days ago. I too, constantly go in the room and check temp/humidity. I find that I fixate on the humidity because no one could tell me exactly what to put it at like the temperature. I guess tomorrow is day 3 for me, and it's much better than...
