First hatch questions.

Ok I am on day 7. My temp is at 100.9 I try to get it up to 101.5 but it goes up to 102.3. My humidity is running 30-35. I am just wondering if these are ok numbers? I candled tonight and took out the ones that had no veining or little chick moving around. Might I add it is sooooooooo cool seeing the baby chick moving around!! Also I got 3 eggs from a gal in the same town as me and I candled them to and they must have been under a hen because they are huge and moving around. How can I tell when they will hatch? They are taking up about 2/3 of the egg so they are pretty big. I am so mad about her taking eggs out from under a laying hen.

Thanks for all the help!

Temps and humidity are O K. Don't give up on the eggs so quickly. A lot won't show until after day 10. You can lose some chicks that way.

OK this is my story. I thought I only had hens till one day I saw my Buffy "girl" up on one of my other hens. Well turns out she was a he. I had to rehome him because I can not have Roo's. I cracked some eggs and saw that they were fertile. So I knew that some would not be so that is why I took them out. I did crack them open and saw NOTHING in them. Could I still have killed some chicks?
Thanks for your help!
