my and my son found an empty nest about a week ago with just one egg in it we waited to see if the mom would come back but she never came back so i took it home bought an cheap incubator. i been doing a lot of research but my problem is i don't know exactly how old the egg is and when to stop turning it. i turn the egg 3-4 times a day and candle it daily and i can see movements the veins and all that and just a few hours ago the egg start wiggling back and forth but no pipping yet. i bought a humidity and temp gauge the incubator said 37.3 but the gauge is way off i think the humidity been at 80-85 percent i have no idea how to adjust the humidity. so far in been in there for 7 days now and with me not knowing what I'm doing at all the thing is surprisingly still alive. i really want to save this thing because my son is so excited about it lol. i check up on it every few hours to make sure everything looks ok. my estimate is its about 23 days old now but I'm probably wrong. so my question is how do i know when to stop turning the eggs. and how do i adjust the humidity. the air sac seem like it been in the same spot for a couple days now but i might be wrong so i marked it to make sure here is a couple picture i took last night if anyone can tell me how old it is and what i should do from here is much appreciated!
