Hello everyone,
I just incubated some of my chickens eggs for the 1st time in my daughters classroom. Of 9 eggs 3 pipped and hatched in the last 36 hours. The 3 moved the other eggs all over the incubator. Today due to weather I forced to take the incubator with the remaining eggs home. The eggs were pretty much always kept at the right temperature but the humidity was low, about 20%, so the chicks in the incubator could dry. The eggs were kept safe but definitely were jostled and moved around in transport. I immediately replaced them in the incubator on the cage and increased the humidity when I got home.
My question is after all this moving and rolling around for almost 2 days is there any chance anymore will pip or hatch? I have no problem with letting them sit for another couple days, but really don't want to be just heating eggs with dead chicks inside....
Any advice is appreciated, Thanks.
