    I've been told that weighing eggs is the best but just for knowledge, maybe stupid question, but what happens when some eggs within the hatch do different with weights? Or does that not happen. Just was thinking if you had some loose a lot and some didn't how would you rate what to do as a...

    Well I was hoping someone with more knowledge would respond but I can say I did a dry hatch last time and had 6 hatch. I'm thinking you are doing right with humidity around 50 for lockdown. I had mine too high, which I didn't know, and it was around 70. I did have chicks but they were sticky...

    Yes its fixable but I had to read up on it. You need to tape feet straight. I had one of mine but it was late at night and didn't have anything and I think he might have died since he wouldn't stay off his back. I ended up sleeping with it and kept his feet flat on my stomach and by morning...

    Hard to tell but it almost looks upside down from how it should be but looks like its working pretty good. If opening the bator didn't shrink wrap him I think it will be ok. I would give it a few more hrs or so.

    I guess I will just bring them back in at night..lol I just read they are ok as long as temp isn't below 80 and I'm not for sure at night. I really doubt it below 80 but just to be safe.

    My chicks are 2 weeks old now and I decided to put them in cage outside for the day. I live in Florida and its like 90 degrees out. I was going to just bring them in at night but almost thinking about leaving them out?? Does anyone think there is a problem with it? They are eating and...
