I think its just the digital Hygrometer is off. I put my regular one in and it jumped to 80% so I took out the maxi pads and will just have to wait for it to do down naturally I guess. I was going to suck some how with a straw but I dyed the water with blue food coloring.

I am new but I believe that high of humidity can cause a lot of problems also. I am pretty sure that is what killed my last hatch only one out of 8 made it out of lock down

I just went in to lockdown. I candled but I don't see any movement in there. Is this normal? or should I see movement? I left them all in there anyway but I would like some feedback.

I set 22 eggs in my GE Electric Skillet, Pan-O-Bator. My last hatch was over 90% in this homemade delight!

I am hatching Birchen Cochin, and Mille Fleurs! I'm going to pick up another skillet tomorrow and set another 20 or so.
Good Luck everyone!

Started lockdown at 7Pm adjusting humidity up now
I candled briefly just to check air sack position- had to remove one egg that had stoped developing. I had candled only once at 10 days and this one was iffy then. so going in I have 9 out of 17 eggs that were shipped from Maryland to Oregon. Now its just wait and see!

Okay, we have entered lockdown

.
We started with 41 eggs and entered lockdown with 22 but that isn't a surprise since I was waiting on an incubator that never came and had to run to TSC and purchase a LG so some of the eggs weren't the freshest and ontop of that we had a poweroutage on day 15. I think the ones that hatch ought to be tough litter buggers....lol.

5 - blood rings
6 - quiters
8 - infertile

There were a couple that were iffy so I left them in the bator.

Just had the two pippers hatch a couple of hours ago. I have five left due to hatch out tomorrow. I thought I had 22 eggs in the bator but it's actually 21. So now 16 have hatched. I cannot believe I only got 4 quail out of 30 eggs shipped

ten were not even fertile or had no air sacks after shipping. 2 were cracked. 1 hatched mostly out and died, 1 hatched with bum legs and died, two pipped and never got out, the rest are still in the bator but I know there won't be more to hatch now.

Please please show me a picture of this bator!
