Most of the larger eggs didn't make it. When I weighed them they had lost only 10% or less of their weight on day 28.
My humidity was around 50%. On inspection it seems like they drowned due to too much liquid in egg. All we're fully formed but couldn't make it out of the inner membrane.
My theory is that the eggs couldn't lose enough liquid. Also note that I did not cool or mist the eggs. Seems like misting may help the eggs evaporate fluids somehow.
There may be a protective layer around the egg preventing evaporation of fluids inside the egg. Seems misting and cooling somehow disables the protective layer and helps the egg evaporate it's fluids.
Can anyone confirm this through experience?
Thanks
