Even better yet is using barocca in the the chicks water (Yes I know it sounds strange). Works miracles on weak chicks with leg problems!

I have berocca, will give it a go, thank you

Yeah i would get a hydrometer. Humidity does go up when they start hatching i find it does even more so with quails than chickens. I think Bunnings sell reasonable prices Hydrometers. Do you open the vents when they start to hatch? I am not familiar with that type of bator though but if it has vents i would open at least one when they start to hatch. I think you have done well with posted eggs. I hope you have a great hatch with your own eggs as well. You could also try adding some infant vitamins with out iron or a tiny bit of Vegemite to the water should help any weak chicks.

The bator has permanent vents, they don't close or open.
It is only a very small one, designed for 7 chicken eggs.
I have vegemite, child version with less salt, will try some.
I was looking for berocca and found an empty container.... Hubby saves them for my seeds.
