Once they're in lockdown, try your best not to open the bator, as it causes the humidity to drop and increases the risk of shrink wrapping. Also, since your bator is set for day 3 since you've only had it turned on for 3 days, you'll have to remove the turner completely to stop the turning. Keep us posted on how the eggs do!
Keep an eye on that air thingy lol! Try to keep the humidity high, higher is better. Opening the air thingy releases more air, possibly resulting in lower humidity. Its good to have more circulation during hatch though, so just make sure the humidity stays close to 70%, and feel free to close the air thingy some if you have to.Thanks again! I’m starting to hope this might work. I unplugged the turner and took it out. I opened the air thingy all the way, and opened the reservoir and added water on side B. Here’s a pic of where we’re at right now. I will not touch while I wait for things to happen.
I think so. I don’t know that the air sack was quite that big, but otherwise yes.
I’m sure the instructions have the real name, but I blanked on it. It said to open it all the way at lock down. The humidity has jumped quite a bit since I added the water to chamber B. Once it levels out it’s good to know that I don’t need to leave that all the way open if it doesn’t hit 70% on its own.
Okay, well you candled a few days ago, so surly its grown since then. I have high hopes for these eggs! Expect them to hatch on day 21, so two days from now. Hatching can take a while to, so don't be concerned if it takes them 5-24 hours to hatch. Keep us posted on the babies!
Why did you quote me?
Yep, you can adjust that if you have to. I do for mine.
Because you had said to set the humidity at 55, which, in my opinion is a little too low for lockdown, in general, although it might work for you.
No, I had raised it when I entered lockdown. The humity before lockdown was initiated was 55
