Yes, this is the batch that we raised humidity on. They don't seem sticky but I've only opened the 1. They are only on day 25 today but if you think they need to come out I will be home around 5pm and we can get started. Just let me know

The 1 I opened around midnight last night still had a fairly large yolk sac attached approx 1 1/4 inch in diameter

If they are sticky, they are going to have a really hard time absorbing, however I have a strange and yet effective way to get them to absorb quickly once they have been opened. (little secret, LOL, I can't tell you all my secrets). LOL

So it's important to know if they are or aren't sticky, was the membrane that covers them thick or thin?

The membrane on the one I opened was wet. Didn't seem thick but it's the first one I've ever seen so don't really know. Can open another one of the quitters when I get home and pictures if you want

Yes, lets see if maybe that's the problem, if so, then we need to act on all of them.

Progress update.... we have started to open the little peepers. 10 still holding their own and going strong so hopefully they will continue to do so during this process. Among the little ones that didn't make it were 3 black bibbed, 2 solid yellow and 1 that looked like my Lily when she hatched

Glad to hear the 10 are doing well!!! Sorry for the ones that didn't make it
