Dont give up, we all learn from our mistakes (or the incubators mistakes)

What did you see when you candled ??

My first hatch I kept my humidty at between 50 and 60% all was ok with that but the second hatch kept lower than 50 and seemed so much better so am running my hatches now between 40 and 50%.

i was following this thread & HOPING... so sorry it didn't happen!!

lots of cool/informative discussions all over this board about humidity, if you use "search", i'm sure you will find TONS of them (the debate about humidity levels seems to be an ongoing HUGE one!!!), and I'm SURE you will have a good hatch next time!!

ok so when i candled them two of them showed an air sac, the rest of them seemed to show a liquid moving as the egg was rotated. they all had dark spots, the embryo i guess, from small to medium sizes compared to the egg. i hate throwing them out.
