Nervous new hatcher here! Day 18, just put eggs in lock-down. Temp at 99.8 and 89% humidity, I know humidity needs to be lower but figue it will lower by the time they hatch on Sun. Any tips, I am a nervous wreck LOL

I would lower NOW!!!! Humidity to 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and not let it vary much.

It has already lowered to 67%, once temp came back up after lockdown. Thanks for the advice

How long do you wait before you assist in a hatch?

I had a lil guy externally pip this am, he's rocking and cheeping, but no zipping. How will I know of he needs help?

We are still in day 20 until 6pm this evening. So far, 8 little fluffy butts running around and 5 more pipped! One of the pips has a beak and a tow hanging out. Hope that isn't a problem, but I can see her still working at it. So far everything else looks fantastic.
