Eggs are moving ?

Hang in there Lori! Are they still moving? Are they peeping? Have you peeped at them? How is your humidity?

Should I peep at them ? IM so sad this morning !

hang in there

I'm new, so hopefully someone with more experience will chime in, BUT, the lowest humidity at hatching that I've ever seen posted was 55%, and a LOT of people go much higher than that. Also if temps are on the low side (sometimes thermometers are off, or depends on where you put the thermometer, especially in a still air incubator), sometimes it will delay a hatch for a day or two. ??

I have one egg with a tiny pip !


Not even a hole really but a little crack at lg end where it looks like the shell is lifted up a tiny bit ?

Now I am going crazy !

I should leave the house !

Can you get the humidity up without disturbing the incubator? Most threads I read suggest humidity at hatch time around 60-65%. Today is day 20 for me and I have 2 rockers. Temps are fine and humidity is running 60-65%. I can't keep myself away from the dang hatcher lol.

Hope you get more pips and zippers today!

This way i can take out water and put water in. My humitidy would drop down to around 56 so i would take out about 3 syringe full and add 3 hot syringe full back it would bump it back up to 61-64 the tube just sits downin the bottom of the water canal. hope this helps, Kim
