    Yeah it does, guess I never really thought about the hen providing moist heat, but it makes sense.

    Day 20

    Day 20

    Congrats on the start of your hatch, hope all goes well. I'm also on day 20 as you were when you started this thread, and I'm not seeing any signs of movement either. Hoping to see a good hatch on day 21 as it seems you are.

    Humidity level during lockdown

    A lot of academic institutes print material that says that they suggest keeping the humidity around 60% for the first 18 days. I tried to keep mine around 45%, but it seems like so many people post different numbers.

    Brinsea Octagon eco 20 question

    I also purchased a new Brinsea Octagon eco 20 this spring and my temperature also appeared to be preset too high. Mine seemed to be initially set to 100.5 and I turned it down before setting eggs.

    I opened the bator during lockdown...

    Just to kindof modify my last statement, I realize that the high humidity helps to keep everything from becoming a sticky mess, but how is this higher humidity obtained in nature.

    I opened the bator during lockdown...

    Congrats on the hatch. Just wondering if any of you had any input on why it is important to increase the humidity during lockdown.

    Lockdown at day 16? Yes, no?

    And I've heard that the egg turning is most important when the eggs are still developing their veins during the first half of the hatch. But I'm no expert.
