Can Chicks Still Hatch at 94 degrees?

[AmyLynn2374]

I finally got fed up with the stress and have 3, two digitals and one glass one. The two digital I didn't trust. Now the next batch is due tomorrow. Praying it goes easier! Wonder if this is something I'll get used to. LOL
The humidity level has been the greatest challenge lately. I have eggs in my LG and move them to a homemade bator when it's lockdown time. I can keep the humidity level until one little baby hatches and it skyrockets to over 90! On a journey here for sure.

Thank you for all your input, believe me it helps the ups and downs

That has been me the past week LOL

I run humidity at 75% going into hatch and when they start hatching it does shoot up to 80-90%, I don't worry about it. Of course, I'm a meddler and open my bator during hatch so it doesn't stay that high for very long.....lol

I've been messing with mine too lol. I had to open and help the first baby out. It was too large......and had a messed up leg....like it was fused together

the next one popped right out, zipped in less than a couple hours after pipping and no issues..another followed and even after getting up all night every two hours, humidity dropped and it was stuck a bit to the shell.....I helped it...she's fine..the last one was sitting almost 18 hours after pipping a large hole.....I had to help her out. Not sure if this was due to the early low temps and then going normal or just my inexperience. I came on BYC and learned the term "shrink wrapped" and how to help it out. So now there are 3 babies, the other poor first little one had to be euthanized. Another area I searched and found here.

Now there are 10 ready and another 40+ staggered over the month. I pray there are NO issues!! First batch was no way I could have left the bator closed.....live and learn......the hard way.......
