So this is my first time hatching chicken eggs... and I didn't know the importance of humidity, especially right before hatching. Due to a crazy weekend, neither me or the kids remembered to put water in the incubators and they went dry for day 21-22! 😱 Awful newbie mistake, I feel so terrible...
I received eggs from a local farmer to hatch in my classroom and some of them were refrigerated before I got them. I've had great luck hatching eggs that have been in the fridge up to a week before getting them so I wasn't worried about them hatching. I start the incubation countdown with these...
