Please refer to the hatching 101 article and read about humidity. Its NOT a set number, you only use it to aid in air cell loss! you may need more you may need less at different times during incubation https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101



also about when to help.... you will need to read this over and over to understand its also not a set thing! many factors involved https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching
 
Well I candled this morning (Day 17) since my other hatches the last two weeks have been hatching on day 20. I think I will go into lockdown with my 6 eggs. I saw one lil guy trying to internally pip. It was positioned and ready to go. I am so excited. This is my LAST set of eggs from this crazy month of a staggered hatches and shipping disasters. They were the ones we FOUND at the Post Office in our box. They had been shipped unknowably as replacements and we know they had been in the PO box at least a week laying on their sides. So out of the dozen sent, I am very pleased to be putting 6 into lockdown.

Maybe we will finally get our Olive Eggers! Can't wait to see what pops out! 5 are 2nd generation Olive Eggers and 1 is BCM over an Olive Egger.

we have another brahma hatching, yay!! looks like he is starting to zipper!! YAY!!! then we have one to investigate tonight when all these kids leave!
 
update? I see one hatched?
2 hatched last night! One of them was dragging around his shell and he had pulled out his navel a bit. I put some iodine tincture on so hopefully it will heal.

The other 3 are still breathing and absorbing their yolk and blood vessels. Wouldn't it be nice to have all 5 hatch? especially considering how they started off.
