At 11ish days? And only for a little while? Nah, you're fine.

Today is day 8. It could've been like that for around 11 hours at absolute MOST. I think it was around 2 hours, though.

Then I think you are golden.

Candled today; all 9 are huge and moving around like little freight trains in there! They are on day nine.

Candled again today! All nine are growing great and they are "jumping" up and down. I can actually make out the chick figure now! The air cells are getting big!

So, my humidity is staying around 45%. Is this too high? I added water the other day when it was 16%. By the way, I'm NOT doing dry incubation.

"Too high" is different for everybody. 45%, Generally, is right at the "recommendations" For humidity on days 1-18. So I think you're good.

Thanks! Today my digital thermometer read 97* all day and the other read 100*. If it was actually 97, are my eggs dead? It's day 11 I think.
