Ok, my staggered hatch started yesterday and is getting pretty active right now. I'm trying not to mess with the incubator temp and humidity, but I worry. All the chicks are gooey and taking quite a while to fluff up. I did dry incubation and humidity has jumped to 77% during all this hatching. Temp has been between 100* and 102* F the whole time (don't ask me why I can't ever hit 101* F). Is there anything I should change? Some sliminess is normal, right? How high of humidity is too high? I have vents on the LG still air open.
Also, one pipped externally at the more narrow end. It seems fine and might even be zipping. Is it possible for it to hatch on its own?
