White and flexible.... The humidity has been going back and forth between 40% and 60% and the heat goes up and down between 100 and 105. Its so hot and humid right now and we dont have central air or anything so I can control the house temp. I am using a still are foam bator.
One of my broody hens left her eggs, as one exploded and was bad. When cleaning them all out one starting peeping and had pipped. I have no idea how far a long it is in the hatching process. I quickly put it in the incubator. It is peeping but does not move at all. How long should I wait before...
I run my humidity at 50% and usually run a 98% hatch rate but you will get different opinions from everyone on what the correct humidity is. The last egg will be ok for lock down but it might hatch later than the rest. Just keep an eye on the air cells.
Have you candled? Listened? and float tested your other eggs? Some of mine did not hatch until day 24 last hatch. I float tested them on day 23 and had several of them move around!!
I would let it drop, balance itself out. My last hatch I did at my work and my staff had let it get up to 65% on my day off not knowing, the next day I let it drop down to around 40% for the day and then brought it back up to 50% when I left. Had a 98% hatch
I will give it a try. I have never had this issue and have hatched so many times. I have been frequently adding warder via medicine syringe through one of the air holes and so far that has been working. Tomorrow is supposed to be hatch day so I will just have to keep a close on eye on things...
Using a still air styrofoam bator. Last hatch went perfect. 12 of 14 hatched. 12 in now and all candled right on target so we locked down on Saturday. Took the eggs out of the turner. Put a paper towel down. Humidity is going hay wire. Will drop to 40 and then go back up to 90 when i add water...
