  7. These two hatched within minutes of each other, though I had to assist the lighter one since it pipped in the middle of the egg.

    EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

    Ok. Thank you! Should I be concerned about the temp or humidity at this point? I dry incubated without a fan. I am in Florida so hum. Was almost a constant 35% last 18 days.
