Hi all,

I've been incubating 27 light Sussex eggs, which I recieved by post. Day 22, and I successfully have one gorgeous chick in a brooder. Should I be concerned that I hear or see nothing from the other 26 eggs?
Temp has been a fairly steady 37.5 and humidity has been about 45-55 in early stages and 65-75 from day 18

If you have no external pips, I would do a candle and check on the rest. If there are not any internal pips, I'd be concerned. (Not really anything you could do, but it'd be a bad sign.) I believe 45-55% is too high for the first 17 days if you are not in a high elevation and especially if you use a styro bator. I don't like to see humidity get over 40% personally. I run mine at 30%. But the key is to monitor your air cells during the incubation to see if your humidity is working for your eggs or if you need to adjust.
