First hatch day 20 with trouble I think :(

I think I know what happened.....I forgot about the holes in the bottom and I slid the bator forward some last night from hanging off the table and IT covered the holes and up until yesterday morning I had not had any trouble with the moisture on the glass.

If they're still hatching, I wouldn't worry too much. Are the hatched ones drying out or did you take them out of the bator? I've had eggs hatch on day 23 & some people have gone even longer!

It shouldn't take so long for them to dry out. Since your humidity is so high, I'd move them to the brooder & under the light so they can dry out quicker. You might need to give them a toweling off to speed the drying process along. Make sure your brooder is set up & nice & warm, 95* under the light. Good luck!
