It is not as likely as other problems but humidity below 25%, getting into the single digits is similar to incubating at below 97F for temps. It is a zone of death and bad hatching. You can still get some to hatch but not that many Experimenting with humidity would be to find the humidity...

from your egg topsy, two or three of them had a blood spot from a dead embryo...Or at least I thought I saw that. Those are early quitters and were fertile if so.

It is fine but why do stuff that goes against poultry science? We do learn from studies and science. BTW, several of your duds may have been caused by the low humidity

It did not tag anyone--Ottman is a very rare name

:hugs Sorry! It was a long day at work and I swore I gave this advice at the beginning of this. I try to help those new to incubation to not fall for the literal: don't add water for a dry hatch spiel that is out there

Humidity below 25% is too low. You are risking numbers 5,8,9,10,13,17 and 20 as listed in the uploaded pdf. Humidity should be from about 35% to 55%. Be prepared to help them when they hatch

:barnieYou are in the bad range for humidity! Dry hatch does not mean no water it means lower than traditional humidity. Humidity varies from place to place so you need to add water sometimes.

I hope you have a great hatch!

I would if I could!

The incubator did not kill them! Time for Balut now

Tomorrow should be Balut Thursday! It has been long enough to start a staggered hatch

I see things like this play house and want to turn it into a chicken coop too! I am so happy that I am not the only one LOL!

You need quail in there! I hope you get a better hatch next time, or find some locally
