What were the results of your hatch? I know you sis you didn't see much movement.

I'm pretty sure the humidity spike did hurt mine. It shot up to 85% and stayed there for awhile. During that time is when I had some sticky chicks and it got worse each time. There was a good pause in pips and the humidity finally came down to where I wanted (65-70). After that, 2 more pipped and zipped, 1 rather quickly. They were fluffy again. Outside of 65-70, they either failed to zip all the way or didn't get past the pip. Going to put in a fan for next time and monitor the humidity better.
 
LOL - I got 0% hatch rate

. Not one even pipped... I spent $100 on 40 eggs and got nothing. There were a few early quitters.

- I rebuilt my bator, after acquiring an old igloo cooler. Should be more insulated and stable.
- I also did a calibration check on all the gauges I used. Over a 3 day period, all the gauges checked out very close to each other....
- Right now I'm testing it all. I'll run it for a few days and see how it holds up...

So, I bought some more eggs off ebay, this time. Should arrive by end of week....Wish me luck!
 
I'm so sorry :( it's so nerve wracking and worrisome.

My expensive bator isn't doing much better. Started with 9. Down to 5 at lockdown. Only 2 have hatched. Others aren't doing anything. afraid that all I'm getting but I'm thankful for the 2.
