Hi there
We have a Brinslea 24 egg incubator. We have previously successfully hatched 6-8 eggs at a time with very few problems. This time we tried the whole 24 eggs and it has been a disaster. We followed all the same instructions for hatching eggs. Most of the chicks hatched alright but they died from being too wet - they never dried out. What happened and why was there so much more humidity than with just 6 eggs?
Also we noticed that a couple of the eggs had what looked like body on the outside of the fully unhatched egg - what happened here?
Any assistance would be most appreciated - I don't ever want to go through that again!
