It is a HovaBator. The humidity has been around 40-50 until lockdown, which was two nights ago, and it has now been around 70. Yes, more than half of the eggs have hatched, thirteen to be exact, all nice and healthy. It is officially day 20.
This egg was moving around and being normal up until this crusty foam emerged from it. I just hope the poor thing is okay.
Where'd you get that divider in the incubator?1st pips in the bator!!! Have 5 pipped so far. Just hit day 20.

Yeah I’m supposedly banned from hatching and keeping critters in the houseFour have already hatched! I started the chicks just before I went to bed on March 26th. The incubator went on the deck because DH says "No Livestock in the House!"
I'm in New Hampshire. That first night was COLD, as were many others since then. The cheap Chinese incubator got covered in towels, an old bath mat, and a torn-up felt-like blanket. I put a layer of bubble-wrap under the incubator. A couple of times, I had a layer of ice between the covers. I added a large plastic sled on top to keep the rain, snow and sleet off the insulated incubator. It did its job!

Can’t count it as livestock until it’s actually out…
