im having incubator issues. set my eggs in my little giant 9300 still incubator,on the 3 of February and hatch day was supposed to be the 24th, i took automatic turner out 3 days b4 hatch day just like the directions said, my temp stayed at 98 an my humidity wouldn't stay past 60. I'm using a still air, and it has holes in the bottom but do i need to plug them up? all my water runs out when i add water, i left the eggs till today cause they were stinking. so i opened them an one was rotten, and the other two had chicks in them but i think they had died on the 21st day. should i plug the holes? should i place a hand held little fan inside? please some one help me
60 is ideal for me when in lock down. I don't use plugs, at all. During incubation, I don't use the wells, I just use a small piece of sponge, just wet it every time I turn the eggs.
Were these bantam or Large Fowl eggs?
Bantams..especially silkie eggs can be hard to hatch. Were these shipped? Or from your own eggs. Shipped eggs, not as good a percentage as if from your own. Doesn't sound like you had many in there. ?? Even less a chance to get shipped eggs to hatch.
