Gotmezchicks I noticed on your pic with the bator and 2 hygrometers, 1 read 62% and 103.1 degrees and the other 71% & 98.8. I understand that you have salt tested your hygrometers. Is one super slow on adapting to the humidity? (I have one that does this) or do you have a sponge near the higher...
I’m sorry, I thought you had 2 . It will be better next time around. My best room was a bathroom counter with great insulation and humidity in that room.
My bedroom is the worst. I also use a sensor push now. It hooks to my phone and shows me the temp/humidity changes throughout the day & night...
Great job on salt- testing. I’ve never seen the membrane wet, it doesn’t absorb. But I certainly don’t know everything. If I am understanding you correctly, this was the problem. I’m so grateful you have a couple cute chicks to enjoy.
The humidity during incubation (days 1-18) shouldn’t exceed...
If it’s only 1.5 degrees warmer, it’s fine— just rotate the eggs when you turn. I have never incubated on the side. But It worked well for you so far. What humidity were you aiming for during days 1-18? How accurate were your hygrometers?
I’m so sorry about your Chicks that didn’t make it. I’m glad that the first 2 did. I noticed all the liquid that came out of the egg you opened. This liquid does suggest the chick drowned. However, This occurs due to high humidity during incubation. With higher humidity, the air cell doesn’t...
