Good to know! On day 14 I took out all the eggs that lit up or had blood rings. I was left with 31 after that that went into lockdown. A couple of these didn’t have much of an air cell but since I wasn’t sure, I put them in anyway. So I really hope they don’t explode.
Ahh I know right?? I’m in Mountain View and it’s pouring. I have my hot hands packs out in case the power goes out.I live on the BI ... very wet today.
I don't think the CO will make much difference, even if you're doing a dry hatch, once lockdown I've read that the humidity should be 70% ... So I understand your concern. Lets get some that may know more ....

Your help would be appreciated ... Thank you in advance
And was extra regretting adding so much water on Friday... I hope the hydrometer is correct. I saw somewhere that there shouldn’t be condensation. 
Good to know! Thanks for telling me how it went for you. I’ve been a little concerned cause one egg is pipping now, but none of the others that I can see. Hopefully it’s just an early one
.
the chick is a total cutie though anyway. It’s an F1 olive egger.
THe abdomen is round not because of mushy chick syndrome, i is because the chick is still absorbing the yolk. Once the others hatch you will see that all look like that until day two.The first chick hatched this morning! It’s active and chirping but I was surprised to see its abdomen looks really fat/round. I really hope it’s not a sign of that mushy chick sickness since the humidity might be high. Or I’m just used to quail chicks and they’re all together so much smaller.
No sign of pipping yet from the cracked egg, but 3 others have that first pip crack.
Congratulations on your first hatch 
Good to know! I’m relieved. Thank you
Thank you!! Three chicks are out now and one still hatching. I’m so happy.
