Hi
So the chicks started cheeping yesterday midday. Today is day 22. I made sure the humidity was 69% last night. Came down this morning and humidity was 50%. I immediately soaked the sponges again and humidity is back up to 67%.
Temps have been pretty good and consistent.
Homemade coolerbator with no window.
Here's a picture. I found one chick trying to hatch. Does it look dry to you? It is breathing. The first picture was taken at 8:45am and the second at 1:10pm
No change at all. But I can see belly breathing. Should I just leave it alone? I didn't see pips last night either so I'm not sure when it started to open up.
I'm stressed it won't make it. This is my first time. Other eggs are cheeping too.
