Day 7 and only 1 yolker and 34 winners out of 35 after candling. Even saw a few moving. Feeling hopeful ☺

Good luck. Sounds as if you are off to a good start.

Went with dry method. Air sacks are good to on the smaller side. Tempted to raise humidity slightly but dont want to ruin a good thing.

Air cells are small I wouldn't raise the humidity just yet . What is the humidity ? I have dry hatched all the way through .

30-40.

The odds are stacked in your favor. Great job.

Had a few quitters at day 18 but still have 28 in the incubator. It's day 21 and we have our first pip right before bedtime from our olive egger egg. Hoping to wake up to some chicks in the morning.

We're heading into day 22 in a couple hrs. 2 have hacthed, 3 others have pipped which leaves 19 that were due today that have not done either. Im assuming it will just be a slow/late hatch. That said, should I shoot for a slightly higher temp next time? I set to 37.5 C this time. Anything I can do now to help them along? Whats the longest I should leave hatched chicks in there?
