But if I remove how can I maintain humidity?

I know the area your from, it's super dry there...don't open the incubator unless you absolutely have to...I'm originally from Valencia but I'm now in N. Texas where it's very humid...don't have humidity issues! you will! especially if the eggs are pipped! the chicklets will be fine!

Quote: if you had temp swings that why they are later than you'd like!!! the visible veins you saw are signs of life so don't worry too much yet!

I opened one up and this is what it looked like.

They basically all look the same.

it's a quitter see there isn't any blood veins....if it was a viable embryo it would have obvious blood in the veins...I'm so sorry...the 1st 10 days and the last 3 are the most venerable for the embryos....you said you thought you saw veins in some ??

I candle mine before putting them in lockdown...I would have pulled any that only had a small dark spot in them at that late date. At lockdown you should be able to see a larger air pocket and most of the rest of the egg should be dark....filled with a full sized chick.

I opened another one and it was a bit further along I think but not by much.
Guess I will just leave the other and wait and hope for a miracle!

candle them!! I know you said you did but look again you should see an air pocket but everything else will be dark if you see veins there is most likely life...what color are the eggs?

I haven't seen veins in mine at this late date...just air pocket and darkness on 'most' of the remaining area. My small chicks don't fill the egg, but still hatch just fine.
