So, once again they are separated.  Then I tried introducing Barley to my 10 day old grey dewlaps.  Silly Barley was scared of them and wanted nothing to do with them either.  I swear Barley is the biggest baby!! 

Sorry ! I wish they would all just get along for you hugs.gif

your humidity is much too high.

it should be more like 40%

 

what kind of incubator are you using?  if it is one without a fan temp should be 100-101

 

do you still see veining? if so it is still alive.

and candling everyday is bad for the egg.

once a week is plenty

i only do it this high durring lockdown. (the last 3 days of incubation. when the egg is starting the hatching process)

having the humidity up too high can cause the air cell not to develope right
