ok at one point late in incubation the eggs went over the temp i wanted i expect problems with that  so hatching date arrives one egg hatches and i open the others from that clutch only at the bottom so i can see if they are struggling.

 

1 was and has been moved to the brooder where he is happily piping.

 2 were fully formed BUT dead...their beaks were poked out of the membrane into the air bubble.

 

the membrane was dry and thats what i dont understand...i had humidity 69-72 for lockdown and it was DRY!! 

 

what temp and humidity do you guys keep during incubation and lockdown?

 

i have a hovabator still air with egg turner
