Quote: Me too, Cyn. I just had a pretty-faced little bantam hatch, as a matter of fact and am waiting on 3 more that have pipped. Hygrometer is reading 66%.

Optimum growth for most species requires a relative humidity of 60 percent until the eggs begin to pip, after which the relative humidity should be raised to 70 percent. http://osuextra.okstate.edu/pdfs/F-8100web.pdf Humidity—The moisture level in the incubator should be about 50 to 55 percent...

I think you may be looking at the wet bulb readings. Relative humidity is usually set at a lower recommendation for days 18-21: The relative humidity in the incubator for the first 18 days should remain at 58-60 percent or 87o-89oF., wet bulb. Increase the humidity during the last three days...

I agree. It may be a humidity problem. If it turns out not to be that, another issue could be poor ventilation during hatching. Do you have vent plugs that you can remove during hatch?
