When my hen went broody we slipped her eggs from the one other hen of that breed every day for four days. After she hatched 3 of the eggs she was done. She left and just kept up with those 3. I took the others and put them in my incubator.
Now, I'm a bad candler. First because I'm a newbe, and because the Marans eggs are so dark. So yesterday as I was in that room, I heard a peep! A little one was zipping! He was still rolling! He is out now and just fine, having NOT been layed down with air pocked up.
I have since taken out some of the egg cradlers, and laied the other 3 on their side, leaving others to continue to roll,
MY Question: How will keeping the humidity and temp. the same for all, affect them? Is it just IDEAL to lower the temp, and raise the humidity on day 18, or will one or the other be damaged in some way?
