    incubator humidity problems

    Fully developed chick did not hatch - Help!

    Have the same problem you described, many fully formed dead in shell with mucus around them. 3 hatch normally at days 20-21, 8 dead in shell. Using a Genesis 1588 incubator. Any new ideas? Will try very low humidity, measuring egg weight loss when I get more eggs in the spring.
