Ive been starting to see like red inflammed places on my girls wings. its only a few (ee who attacked her wing, 2 buff orps and i think 2 australorps) is it normal to be irriated like that or is something wrong? (Stupid question i know)

Is there a place , maybe in the coop, they could be rubbing? Do you have a Roos who is mounting them and could be causing irritation?

Should have clarified; it was at 14% when I ran it empty (no eggs) to test it out and make sure the temperature would stabilize. The lowest it's been since I set the eggs was 32%; hasn't dropped below 40% since the temp got back up after setting.

Thank you for the catch though; who knows what stupid things I'm gonna do as I figure this whole process out. Really glad I'm running this hatch before I pay for "good" eggs. You should have seen me fumbling to figure out those silly bars on the tray.

I know what you mean about the bars. I use egg cartons instead which in the big cabinet Brinsea it means I only use the bars to keep the egg cartons from sliding from side to side as the shelf rotates. In the smaller Brinsea 2 trimmed egg carton fit nice & snug so no bars needed.

I would move the egg.
I saw a Broody Silky at Karen's place that had well.... lets just say a lot more than 7 eggs under her. They do rotate them and it is not that cold now so they should be just fine.

If you are talking about this Karen (me, that is) I had 3 Silky hens share a five gallon bucket nest box & they looked like a fluffy totem pole. I should have taken a picture before I sold them. Most of my chickens don't fit well in the upside down 5 gallon buckets I used for nest boxes, but 3 Silkies totem style fit fine...........LOL

I run my Brinsea around 40% for the first 18 days

I'll have to try that out. I'm guessing styrofoam is better germwise than paper, yes? And replace every batch?

Will try and find these for back up; Thank you again!

I would look around for something they could be rubbing on

I toss the egg cartons after the hatch. It's much easier than washing & disinfecting them.
