    Hey guys I am having a brain fart here. Our wellie eggs went into lockdown last night and I filled up the outer water area in the incubator. What humidity do I want for the last 3 days? Is 70% to high? I know I should know this but can't for the life of me remember. Old age I guess. Thanks...

    Quote: I was just thinking that same thing Vickie. I think the wellie chicks aren't due until tomorrow. We are picking ours up in Capac I think. Candled our eggs last friday night and only found 1 clear one out of 18. Not to bad. Gonna have wellies coming out of our ears.
