Hello friends,
We're heading to day 29 with our first batch of 13 Toulouse eggs.
Most of them were wiggling since day 25 and some may have externally pipped (or could be some stronger internal pips that broke the shell, no beaks seen yet)
Anyway, yesterday I made a safety hole of 2mm in the air cell of each, except one that had a smaller air cell and today we found his head is in the wrong end of egg (by the pip he made)
I do know it can take up to 48 hours from pip to zip, but things seem really slow.
Humidity is around 73% and I can only get it higher if I place wet mats or sponges inside the incubator.
We have an incubator like the one in the picture attached.
My questions are: Will it help or hurt if I still sprinkle/mist water over the eggs?
Adding 2ml of apple vinegar in the incubator water will help moisten the eggs shell?
