I wonder if the dummy was stuck.

Is that right foot deformed? I can't tell.

Just curled up. I opened all of them, most were like this one. Humidity was between 60-80% during hatch. Went up with hatching babies. Sucks to have so many get so close.

I think that is too high.
Next time lower it down to 50 and see what happens.

@ketojenn For my duck eggs I had lockdown humidity at +-55-60% per Holderread. It worked great; all those I locked down hatched and are still kicking (but not yet quacking).

He said that was perfect for ducks even though it would be too high for non-waterfowl. So, just fwiw. I used the parameters on the incubator for my chicken hatch (which as you’ll know are 60-80%) and it worked fine though I was having trouble getting it to stay as high as the label recommendation.

Draw down vs not drawn down yet.

I have at least 10 external pips.
I'm trying to mess with them too much.

Here is dot again. Picture of the size difference I’m seeing. Some are huge. Dot is a medium.
