    I need help quickly and the hatch in thread j posted in is really quiet. My humidity went down to 40% last night and this morning I opened it to put more water in and take out the bars, and it appears at least 3 duck eggs have already made a little crack with their beak. Will they die? It's only...

    Am I the only person whose cord is hard to keep in? I have to position it just so, otherwise it comes out. Yesterday the incubator was off for 1/2 hour because it got wiggled.

    I've read somewhere where someone said that because silkies are so tiny they can drown in the egg when hatching if the humidity is too high. Is that true?

    I noticed this little hole yesterday. Is that on all Octagons? Nothing to worry about when adjusting humidity?
