    Lock down humidity help

    The membrane did start to brown and I gave him til 24 hours before I peeled a little away. Turned out this little chick was handicapped. It's feet didn't work and it just laid there chirping. It was so sad. The other one that hatched is doing good except he is missing an eye socket. I've decided...

    Lock down humidity help

    Ok I'm worried about the first little guy. He started at 2am last night and is still not out. The other one in the middle that piped out side pointing to floor is already out 10 hours later. When should I help the other one?

    Lock down humidity help

    Oh gosh.!! I had no idea I needed to do that. I didn't check them. I will be here with them all day and keep a close eye. I hope I didn't hurt the others chances by not marking air cells and facing them properly.

    Lock down humidity help

    Thanks for your help last night. I woke at three and have one pip. This morning the membrane seems to be a little brown but it's still chirping. The humidity is at 59 and temp dropped a little to 97. Should I spray it? Or add some more water real fast?

    Lock down humidity help

    Conditions prior to outage were fairly normal. I had a couple of fights with the temp in the middle range but it never stayed down or up more than an hour. It is sitting in my living room so I'm constantly watching it. The humidity has been in the 40-55 range up until lock down. I candled them...

    Lock down humidity help

    I am on day 21 of incubation and I lost power this morning. It was about an 8 hour outage. I managed to keep the temp between 85 and 90 and humidity between 54-70. It is plugged back in now and the temp is slowly rising. What do you think my chances are of having a hatch. There are no external...

    Power outage on day 21 of incubation

    Thanks so much for replying. I'm keeping a close eye on them and I'm hoping to have power on soon. Will the external pips be on the side facing up. I don't see a thing.
