    HELP PLEASE!!

    Eggs starting to rock!

    My eggs are staring to rock a little. But it's only day 16! Could this just be positioning? Should I lock down early in case some are early? Should I stop turning a moving egg??? Help!!!

    Newbie Needs Help!

    Thanks to everyone. I removed the water (even dried with paper towel) and the humidity is down to 25-30%. I feel better. I also ordered a digital hygrometer to back up the regular one I'm currently using. There's no more condensation on the sides of the bator. I think I don't want that...
