QUOTING MYSELF for reference...

Feeling optimistic... Out of the 27 I set, I have still 22 that have babies growing!! My results from Day 10 candling and weighing are below (I was not able to weigh the marans... I started but didn't realize until I was done that my spreadsheet screwed up the marans weights (my 8yr old was entering them)). From your suggestion I upped my humidity to the 40's. Based on Day 10's results do you think I should still aim for humidity in the 40's? Tomorrow is Day 14 so I will be weighing again. On Day 10 I didn't mark air cells because I'm realizing that marking them isn't actually telling me much considering the weight is more important.

Okay finally had a chance to candle, weigh and mark air cells. Here's where I'm at... (ignore the one Marans egg with the huge weight loss - the original weight was not correct and I don't remember what it was). And I accidentally deleted one of the Faverolle weights ugh... now I don't remember that either. I tried to get some pics of the air cells too. I definitely have some bad ones - there was a marans egg that had an air cell that looked like it was HALF the egg :-( All 22 still had babies moving. Really worried about the ones that are already over 12% or even the ones close to that.

















 
I am at a chicken meet up. Posting as pictures sort of makes out impossible to cut and paste into a spreadsheet but eyeballing looks like ten percent. So you lost about three percent this week. You seen to be right on track. Continue what you are doing

I think you're right!! I think my average must be close to 10%... granted some are higher... but some are also lower. Okay just calculated. My average is 9.90%!! Wow you're good at estimating based off those air cells!!! I will just continue on with keeping my humidity in the 40's! THANK YOU so so much!!!!
