My son built his own incubator and we just hatched 7 out of 8 chicks. This is the thermometer/hygrometer that we used

They also made sure there was a fan to circulate the air and a thermostat to regulate the temp.

The one on the left isn't moving, so it must be dead. The one on the right is the one am talking about. The thing in the middle kinda looks like his beak. Should I dig down for it now, or wait till he stops moving at all. It will prolly bleed to death.

The dead one^^

How low of a temp would cause a sticky chick? I am so worried mine go into lockdown tomorrow...my FIRST ever hatch..n the eggs are tiny does that mean the chicks have a less of a chance

its ok 3D if its grossing you out

sticky wet chicks are pretty gross and seeing that yellow tint shows it too : (

I think the 97-98 mark will do it, I dont remember where that stuff is... it may be in the brisena link in the article on what if the electric goes off or else the "what happened to my chicks, incubation problems"

My eggs have been at 99.5 and air temp 100...will I be in the safe zone? I am so sorry 3D for your loss
