I'm so sorry Sally. What day is it? Do you see any movement? Perhaps it'd be worth opening a couple of them up to see if you can save any. I'd had a lot of success with artificial internal pips.

After hearing about all the troubles with humidity because of this crazy weather, I started weighing every single egg.

Normally I simply watch air cells, but if it's affecting so many of you guys, I don't want to risk it.

I think that is wise, I even am running dry, not much else I can do... its only day 19 but i am a worry wart as I usually have something going on. I worry without water during lockdown and keep questioning myself

I swear I added the sponges and took them out 10 times today LOL They are out now and I am going to candle a few quick if I see no internals no water, internals sponges are going in

I will add that the blue eggs are smaller than the brahma eggs once again

So 7 babies total with last being assisted due to membranes sticking but so far all ok will leave them until the last one drys out then move them to the brooder

Perhaps they have thicker shells?

Could you share that link that said different breeds require different amounts of mass loss?

Also, how are those eggs that experienced the temperature drop in the styrofoam incubator?
