I put 30 eggs in my Hovabator 19 days ago at 9 am. This was an experiment, because the eggs were from the coop, the kitchen table, and the refrigerator. I marked them accordingly. The part to adjust the temp on the incubator was missing, so I would adjust the lid to let the heat out.
I didn't think I would get much, if anything, from this experiment, because the temp has gone from 92° up to 109°, and the humidity from 28-78 %.. I've thrown out 5 bad eggs since day 1. This is day 19. I heard peeping coming from my bathroom this morning! The chick had hatched completely and was walking around! More have pipped their shells!
This is my first attempt at hatching in an incubator, and I'm super excited, but confused. Why are they hatching at 19 days? And why are the air cells very crooked?
