Hey!
I'm incubating 8 mixed breed eggs in a Brinsea Mini Eco...and today is hatch day...well, 5 of the 8 have a spot where i can see they've cracked open the eggs (noticed them about 6pm...is now 1am where i am). Well, 2 are still moving and peeping, right next to eachother...problem is, the ones who cracked their eggs the earliest are cracked just the same, whereas the 2 still moving and peeping are now zipping.
I'm just freaking out that the other eggs had something go wrong during hatch...they're no longer moving (at least not in the 5-10 min stints i sit next to the thing staring
I know nobody can tell me exactly what's going on but it'd be really nice to get someone else's experience with hatching...
Side note: The temp has been steady at 91 and the humidity, although i don't have a gauge, was raised a day ago (I've read they need higher humidity during hatching). I havent opened the incubator since i dont want the humidity to fall but my husband (the nosy thing that he is) moved the incubator into our kitchen so he could 'see them better'...now i'm afraid he disoriented them and they're dying in their shells...
Any advice would be appreciated!
