My 2 questions:
Should I take out the egg holder that was used for manual turning in one of my incubators?
Is there a way to increase humidity on day 16?
And here’s the explanation of stuff:
I am using two different incubators to hatch my 12 quail eggs. It’s day 16 and there are a couple moving around and one actually tried to hatch either last night or early this morning, but I think it died. I attached a low quality image, as I don’t wanna open the incubator to show the chick because it is REALLY bad at keeping humidity. That incubator is giving me a lot of trouble’s, the humidity is always 10+% lower then the night before I left it. I have put as much water in it as possible, I think, there’s definitely plenty for it to reach above 60% in humidity. It just won’t go above 60%! It’s so annoying! Is there a way to raise the humidity besides adding water to the bottom? Should I spray the eggs with warm water? Or should that have been done earlier? I know that there is life in at least one of the eggs in that dang incubator. Another question I have is if I should take out the holder/Turner that I used in my other incubator. I made it myself so that the eggs would be easier to manually turn and I don’t know if I should keep it in for lockdown. I thought keeping it in would be better so that they would be more stable and wouldn’t roll around on the very flat surface, but should I take it out? The humidity and temperature on that one is fine, it’s the white incubator with troubles. here’s some pics to help.
