    I'm so sorry Rainier. :hugs I built a forced air incubator where the temp stays at 100. I was under the impression that a still air incubator had to be 1-2 degrees higher so that the temp at the level of the eggs stays between 99.5-100.5 degrees. I agree with the other posts above. The temp...

    :hugs That's right. We all have slightly different set ups, temps, humidity, etc and learn from every hatch. I learned that with shipped eggs it is best to let them hatch upright in the carton rather than lay them down. I lost like 8 shipped eggs at lockdown on my first hatch because I laid...

    Rainier, please be careful. I had the same exact situation but with an egg with a detached air cell. I thought I couldn't see movement or vessels because of the DAC and color of the egg. The egg got darker similar to the rest but exploded in the incubator on day 16. IMO, If you think you...

    One of my chicks won't sleep! Help!

    I have a chick right now, 5 day old with similar behavior. What ever happened to yours? Did anything help?
