How's everything look?

That's pretty much exactly what I see, especially with the colored and darker eggs

I ended up with 2 more black cooper Maran eggs that ended up not developing. They were 2 of the 4 I was not sure about. I have 40 eggs out of 48 that made it to lock down. I set the humidity at 72% and filled all the channels in the Brinsea. The Humidity seems to be holding perfect for now. How do the air sacks look for day 18?

oh and does 72% seem about right?

Just checked the incubator and had a small amount of condensation on the clear viewing area. I turned down the humidity to 70% I'll make small adjustments every few hours until the condensation goes away. I will not take it below 65%

Wow! The Brinseas must hold humidity really really well with condensation at 72% I run 75-80% with no condensation.

I have condensation around 75%. They are incredibly stable with temp and humidity

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have condensation during the entire hatch

I have been amazed at how well it holds temp and humidity. So far it has been so much easier than my old Farm Innovators incubator. The FI would have 3 degree fluctuations and humidity was all over the place. Out of 40 eggs in the FI I ended up with only 6 hatching. Some of my bad luck was do to inexperience I'm sure. I only had about 15 make it to lock down. With the Brinsea I have not seen the temp fluctuate more than .1 degree and the humidity more than 1%. I have 40 out of 48 eggs that made it to lock down and they are all shipped eggs. So far I could not be happier with Brinsea. I will keep updating as the hatch gets closer as well as through the hatch.
