Amazingly they are still delivering lives at the same speed.

ah... my last batch took an extra day. but I Believe they are Trying! lol

Humidity has dropped to 49% after I removed some eggs from the incubator the spike in humidity must be due to how many eggs are in the incubator.

I’m guessing if I removed more it would drop again.

Humidity at 49% still isn’t great but it’s far better than 57%!

Ta da! My shipped eggs chicks! Only three but I am so happy!

You should be! What I'm getting from following all the action in the hatch-a-longs and other threads it seems to me that getting chicks from shipped eggs is about like winning the lottery! Congratulations!

Yes I did, I put half a bag of rice in there and it still stuck at 56-57% was in there for 2 days.

Humidity only dropped when I removed some of the clear eggs.

While I didn't hatch them due to packing up for the move, I did put in the brooder 39 out of 40 chicks hatched out on the 12th. And they were thirsty, they drank for half an hour, pushing each other out of the way to get to the waterers.

Someone in a previous hatch a long put dry sponges in the incubator, to redry them he/she toasted them in the oven. They needed to be very dry.
