broken incubator on day 16!!!!!!! help!!!!

I would not assist. That's likely to do more damage than good. If you can keep the temperature from fluctuating too much, you should still have a successful hatch.

see the humidity level in our place is around 90-100 most of the time since it's still raining here..so with the incubator will the humidity level be like that ?

this is how i set up

umm..the temperature now stays at 101.5 in constant..

That temperature is too high. See if you can get it down to 99.5.

You don't have a hygrometer? If the humidity is that high, the chicks are going to have trouble. Usually the humidity inside the incubator is not as high as the humidity surrounding it. You don't want the humidity to go above 70%. If you can, keep it closer to 50-60%.

The best you can do is cross your fingers and hope, then. How are they progressing?

I would do that, but not before the temperature is up. 99.7 will be much better than 101.5.

Yes! That means there's a chick in there getting ready to come out.
