    How long can Eggs remain at high temps before their a loss?

    Our incubator went to 117 degrees!!!!!!! for 20 minutes or less. Long story. It was on day 9. I candled on day 16 thinking I would be discarding ALL of the eggs. Instead I saw good looking embryos. Now, this very day, 4 of them have hatched and 18 more have pipped. I wouldn't worry too much!

    How do i adjust humidity in LG incub.?

    I have LG incubator in use at the moment.... hatching as we "speak". I kept the humidity at 50-60% during days 1-18 by filling the channels of water and adding two wet sponges (on top of the metal grate) I raised the humidity to 75-80% by placing a small saucer of water in right before lock...

I do have pictures of her chickens so perhaps I'll google image and try to figure it out (while I'm just sitting here waiting). Couldn't tell you which chickens...

    Neat! Feel free to post your progress here with me. I'll be interested to see what our hatch rates are as newbies. This is just the beginning of day 20 for me so I'm a bit surprised that they are hatching already. I now have 3 that have pipped (hurry up!) and another that is rocking. LOTS...

    Hello!! I have 3 of 35 eggs that have just begun to pip! I was fast asleep but woke up to peeping and now I'm afraid I can't go back to sleep. So-- I've been reading quite a lot of what y'all have to say (over these past two weeks) but I thought most chicks pip at the narrow end of the egg...
