Quote: loose is ok, rolling can be bad!

settle for 12-24 hrs air cell up in a carton and then set in the bator and DO NOT TURN LOOSE OR ROLLING AIR CELLS FOR 2 days! the good ones you can but not the loose or rolling. again check out the article.

Ok I will soak up some water out of the bottom. The blue ones had bigger air sacks but those eggs were bigger than these silkie eggs so I'm not sure but I will take it down to 35-40?!?!? It's at 50 right now

I would go to 30-35 until you check in two days and then at day 14. adjust as you go. you didn't weigh so you HAVE TO take your BEST guess to get that weight loss. but that's ok, you caught it soon enough and most people do the visual watch instead of weigh anyways!

Okay Miss Sally, I'm here. I had two hatch and took them out when I candled the waxed egg, but I noticed that they have kind of swollen bums. Too much humidity? Did I overcompensate for my previous shrink wrap problems? Will big butt babies live?

do you have pics of "swollen bums" is the navel closed or open? not sure I know what you mean big butt? wet chicks I assume your are talking about, usually humidity is too high you get really big chicks sounds like what your saying but not sure?

This is one thing that is pretty hard to judge with pics but we will do our best, I would say lower the humidity a tad until day 14 what humidity now? and you compare to those images, what r ur thoughts?

I was thinking those looked pretty good but i can't remember what day these are.
