Did I kill them

[yinepu]

did you candle the eggs at lockdown?.. if you did.. did you see any liquid in the air cell?.. also how large were the air cells when you checked last?

I hatched 6/6 at 65%. I started at 45% then increased day 18; it was my first batch and I wasn't sure what I was doing so I guess in answer to your question: Yes I have

So I should decrease the humidity? What should I decrease too????

 

[yinepu]

did you candle the eggs to see the condition of the air cell?

IF you are already in lockdown decreasing humidity will cause shrink wrapped chicks.. the humidity at lockdown will not cause drowning.. it's the incubation humidity that is of concern... so the condition of the air cell will tell us more about what to expect from the chicks and if there will be a problem or not

No, you didn't drown them. I was 60-70 all the way through incubation plus it got up to 108 degrees fro two hours! All five hatched and are healthy! Good luck with your hatch!

I could usualy hatch 85% at around 70% to 80% humidity. Dont give up

Oh! Forgot to mention to turn it up to 70-80 last three days or when they start to pip, zip, and hatch!
