At this point I'm at a loss............Total of 5 pips yesterday/day early. First one literally pipped, zipped and was out and running. The other 4 ..........wait........wait.....finally around midnight I open and check bator eggs.....the ones left that pipped was overdue. They were shrink wrapping. Even the inner membrane was dry! Hygrometer says 75 on one and yes, 80 on the other one...started trying to keep the 65 but it actually LOOKED too dry in there. Maybe I should just go by initial feelings and toss the hygros........
I turned OFF the fan, wrapped the little ones in burritos ....this morning they were all out and ready to face the day. There are 15 eggs!!
Seriously getting frustrated. I am going by all the great info and had everything fine tuned...bator set and stabile.
So, am wondering about these last 10 eggs. MAYBE THE FAN was too much for the area? We'll see. I'm ordering yet more hygro's. If I take the middle of all of them surely something will be right.........I am thinking about putting a hole in one of the remaining 10 due today to make sure they are wet.....with the fan off there is now humidity on the bator so this could be the culprit.........
The burritos were clean hatches, the shells were dry but babies were ready. I hope I can get this all fine tuned before I give up on hatching.....
