    Not laying eggs right now. why?

    Incubation Question...

    All the eggs should be ok. They younger one will get moved around when the others hatch so turning won't be to much of an issue. I have never tried it but the humidity may be OK for it but it may have a little extra moisture in it when time to hatch and you may need to watch it when time to hatch.

    Use coconut oil notwater, water will dry it out more. How long since it piped? Is it moving its mouth like its eating? Still chirping?
