no I keep adding eggs when they are laid


I'm afraid this is where your problem is. You would be better collecting and storing your eggs and then setting them all at the same time. You need high humidity for them to hatch but the constant high humidity is no good for eggs that are not as far along in incubation. The ones that are just added need lower humidity to be able to lose enough moisture and for the air cell to grow large enough. If the air cell does not grown enough the chick can drown when it pips into it.

Very cute! Still no others? It would do so much better with a couple of others for company. You could add a small mirror and soft cuddly toy so it doesn't think it's on its own for now.
