EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Is there any skull covering the lump and top of its head?

I suspect there is a skull defect, which will leave the bird (if it survives) vulnerable for brain damage.

I have, in my limited experience, with polish found most to be brain damaged....

Well, in that case, why'd you marry one??

She claimed to be German!!!

Her Grandpa was the one that fessed up and told me the truth...

Same as her "scandinavian" heritage. Had I known she was a mix of Polish and Lesser Scandinavian, I would have never done it. I was fooled.

I am surprised you settled for anything less than blue-blooded Scandinavian....

I am pretty liberal in my thinking and actions...

Some even call me "Progressive".

That's quite interesting...I don't have any experience and I would have thought the fan would smooth out the temperature differential...
Thanks,

40 Black copper Marans are on day 22. I have one chick and 2 external pips that quit. I held the humidity at 35-40 and the temp held well at 99.5 never dropping under 99 or going over 100. At lockdown I raised the humidity to 65 with a couple spikes to 70. I am using a foam gator with a fan. Any suggestions...hard to reframe from assisting at this point. I did not candle because it was to hard to see in the dark eggs.
