Yes, I left the eggs. She returned back to the eggs about 10 minutes ago. I am a newbie to this so I panicked. Thank you for offering advice. Now I know for next time time that the eggs will be fine.
I have a hen that has been sitting for 3 days now. She had barely left the nesting box and this morning, she came out and has not gone back in for 1/2 hour now. When I checked them, the eggs were warm still. I candled them quickly and they have bloodlines. I know she has to come out and eat...
I am using a little 1x1" square of sponge to manage the humidity in my little dome incubator.
Yesterday, the humidity was great, around 55%
Today, it has dropped down to 47%
Can anyone please let me know how often you have to wet the sponge?
Should I use a bigger sponge?
Any help would be...
