Oh I'm so glad that one blood pip chick made it. I hope the weak one comes around! 9 chicks is great news though. I think I found an early quitter. The rest all have nice blood vessels.

Good to know!! I am learning so much already going through this the first time..the dark spot is the eye right? I see a very tiny dark spot.

This is wonderful!!! Glad you were able to help. You may need to help that second chick too. I have a newbie air cell question. It's hard for me to hold the egg and get a good picture but I tried. Is it normal to have an air cell kind of sideways to the fat end? Like it's tilted kind of sideways...

I do have the little pools and I tried but they were not too thrilled with it. They would stand on the edge and drink the water lol!! I haven't tried a mister yet. They do love when I take the hose and wet the ground. They walk in it. Lol They love frozen fruit too.

I wish I had large trees! I planted so many fruit trees but they are still small. This house was only built 2 years ago. We are right off the coast here so we get a nice breeze but the humidity is just stifling for these poor Wyandottes. I planted some more banana trees to help block the sun on...

Yeah I already decided to candle on day 4 to see what I could. I grabbed some eggs randomly just to check growth and it seems they all have the blood vessels and look like spiders. The air cells looked a bit sideways on each egg but a decent enough size. I saw the drawings and I think by day 7...

Wow thanks for the updated information. I'm still trying to decide if I will add water or try for a total dry hatch. I know that chicks hatching will increase the humidity but my bathroom seems to be really holding the humidity. It may cause it to be too high and I don't want that. If I closed...

That is so cute and yay!! Baby chicks! How much did the humidity jump after the first chick pipped?

Florida is ridiculous. So basically I can put the incubator outside and dry hatch no problem!! The humidity is insane. Yes.. I am joking.

Yup.. so I figured out the issue here. The house was built to be efficient and my AC is running less. I moved my Govee to another room off the main house and turned the air a bit lower and sure enough the humidity is dropping. So my higher humidity is because my AC is not running as often. In...

We are keeping the AC at 74. The house was built to be efficient and minimize AC usage. I feel like if I bump my AC a bit lower it will cool it more and remove the humidity. Actually I'm going to move my Govee from my bathroom and see what it says in the main part of the house.

Oh this is exciting!! I hope they all hatch. I wonder if maybe I need to move the incubator come hatch time. It's on my bathroom counter and seems it's staying humid in there even with no one using it. I bet the main house is less humid. We will see come time to hatch what is the case. I feel...

I'm on the treasure coast and the humidity hit hard this week. It was 93 Thursday and 95 I think yesterday. Horrendous heat and humidity. Let me know what your hatch does and what you do. I think I'm afraid to add water to mine.

So I set eggs yesterday and I've been watching the temp and humidity inside the incubator with the Govee. It's bouncing between 98.4 and 100 degrees and the humidity is bouncing between 34-38%. I've been reading that for dry incubating it should be between 15-30%. I am dry incubating because...
