Hi all,
I have my first eggs (7 Russian Orloffs) in the incubator and they were due on the 6th. It is now day 24 and I don't hear any peeps or pips. I have candled them and I have 3 nos and 4 yeses (though I couldn't see the air sac in one of the yeses, but it was the darkest egg).
I have a Havo-Bator 1602N
Anyways...
When I got them (through the mail), I let them set over night, large end up. I put them in the incubator the next day. I turned them 3 times a day starting on day 2 in the incubator but stopped on the 3rd, expecting my hatch on the 6th. I haven't touched them since cept I did candle them today (see above results).
The temperature has been pretty steady at 99-100, sometimes dropping to 98 and I would just adjust.
The humidity has been steady 50% though it did drop to 30% once and 40% once and I increased as soon as I saw it. I also increased it to 70% (though it's fluctuated from 65-70) for the last three days (though now it's been for 6 days since they are 3 days late).
How long should I wait? Do I help? What did I do wrong?
I'm so SAD!!!
Thanks =)
