Do suzzex eggs take longer to incubate

[Rose Quartz]

We have progress! One egg has started rocking this morning. One at least is alive in there! Worried about humidity as i cant change it on our incubator. Is it just best to watch and wait? Anything i can do?

I havent used that incubator myself, but i use a secondary thermometer/hygrometer inside my incubator. You can get them at walmart but theyre cheaper and you can get smaller ones online. On amazon or ebay.

With out a hygrometer follow the incubator instructions for adding water for lockdown.

Ok great. We don’t have wallmart in England but sure they have them somewhere. Have quickly put a wet sponge in. 2 eggs been rocking since early this morning but no pips yet. Do they take long after this?

it could still be a few more days. it's usually within 24 hours of an external pip. you really don't have to be too concerned about the humidity being up until there is an external pip. it's to keep the membrane from drying out when it's in contact with the air.

Great. Will definitely use one of those next time. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly. The pip happens to be in the egg i drew the air sac shape on and the pip is in the air sac. got another 3 rocking now and again!
