    Hes out!! The membrane was just really thick and had started to dry out. Humidity is sitting on 70% so shouldn't that be alright? Hes in there kicking all the other eggs around hopefully theres no problems with the other chicks!

    Pretty sure Its just a generic one. Im not sure if its a specific brand. Its plastic inside Styrofoam.

    Whats going on with my incubator?

    Is there any way i can keep it steady enough until i can get that? Will the fluctuation prevent the eggs from developing?

    Whats going on with my incubator?

    Because he's currently got eggs in there that are in lockdown. I do plan on buying a brand new one eventually but at the moment I'd just like to get this one working.

    Whats going on with my incubator?

    im not sure as ive never used one before, it fluctuates between 37.5°c to 39°c to 36°c. I aske my friend but he doesn't know either, he said whenever it happened he just bought a new one.

    Whats going on with my incubator?

    Unfortunately its not. If it will still hatch chicks in it i dont mind having to get up and reset it every 5 minutes but i don't know how badly it will affect the eggs, hopefully it still works becausr i dont know what else to do about it.
