21st day of incubation, few questions

[mohsin]

Hello people, i have been reading alot on this website now time to sign up lol. I have 12 eggs in incubator and 2 of them r peeping and one is near pointy end, Im waiting till tomorrow and see if it made progress. Its brinsea full auto eco 20. It doesnt have the humidity reader so they said just keep the ventilation in the middle all the way through. Now i have some water left in the both channels not much should i put some sponge in or leave it as it is?

without knowing what the humidity percentage is, its hard to recommend if you need to add water or not.

It has made progress and the hole is alot bigger can see his beak and trying to get out.. The inner membrane looks dry not sure though will see if it makes more progress. But then again i dont want to open the lid yet.
I have 3 more peeping.

Try to keep the humidity high my partridge eggs died cuz the memberane dried out thought I put a small water bowl

I use a meat injector through the vent hole to add water if needed. just try not to wet down the eggs and you can close the vent a little and still be ok.Once the first chick hatches your humidity will go up anyway.

I have 5 hatched so far i can see 2 more peeping not sure about the rest hope they will hatch. Thanks for the suggestions. I can't add it through the vent hole eggs r right below it.

When i take the chicks out tonight mayb do i turn around the other eggs incase they r peeping from underneath or would they roll around? If i candle the rest would i need to add more water to the channel with a sponge?

Don't take the eggs out till 12 hours after hatching let them fluff up happy hatching

Can i leave them for 24 hours as im goin to work?

They can last a good two days without food or water after hatching because nutrients absorbed from the egg yolk
