Clot-looking veins in fertile egg on day 7

I’ll find one for the next time I try a hatch, is the temp going to be ok?

At this point in time you haven't got much choice other than to trust that the factory calibration is accurate and that your temperature is in the range that it should be.

Ok, I hope it’s fine.. should I take the towels off it? Or keep it on?

I don't think that they were designed to be operated covered, so unless it is making a big difference and the manual says that is ok to run it covered I would be taking the towels off.

It’s changing it from 95.2 to 96

First egg just pipped early !!! I turned the heat up the the house, I’m cooking but it’s worth it

The first little pipper already 1/4 through zipping

Little guy hatched! Looks healthy and is quite energetic

That is fantastic & the little one is a cutie.

If you are pipping and hatching then the temperature is acceptable to them so you don't need the heater turned up in the house.

Actually that is a really quick hatch, mine are usually about 12 hours from pip to hatch.
