Ok now I don't know what to do!! I have just turned my eggs and was looking at one of my shipped mix lot and the cell is completely detached at looks completely in the wrong place but worse I noticed it felt so light (I haven't started weighing yet) and I had also noticed the egg shell seemed so thin. But on close inspection I noted a leakage only a tiny bit. But it's white and seemed to have covered a very small hole! When I candeled there is defo something going on in there. Not as clear as some but I really gently had to move it about. I was hoping not to see anything then was going to chick it out. But now I've seen its naturally sealed the hole and there is a life ie spider formation but faint. Then what should I do? Here is some pics. HELP!!

[/URL] this pic shows the little white dot that sealed the hole

This pic shows the what looks to me wrong!

I toss leakers and seepers due to bacteria contaminating everyone else. Plus it would really stink if it exploded.

I am not seeing the aircell in the 2nd pic. If it looks funny leave it sitting big end up in a carton in the bator. Turn gently by tilting from one side to the other.

Very cute! My kids love feeding the little chicks by hand until about 2 weeks old.

Why not after 2 weeks old?

which thermostat did you go with? did you use the digital and add a relay?

I used the hovabator thermostat - the digital one I took with me was a cooling thermostat.

Should I use the digital thermostat - (STC-1000) - it does not require a relay - the wattage is only about 120 - or 1 amp.
