Hi everyone! It is my first time incubating my chickens eggs. I know they were fertile as every egg we have eaten has the red dot. Decided to buy the styrofoam incubator and egg rotator and give it a try. Today is day 21 and I have done everything by the book. Im worried we are not going to get any chicks. I have candled the eggs about three times over the 3 weeks. I saw chicks in all but two. Now its too hard to see anything but an air sack. Is that normal? I have had the temp just under 100 the whole time and the humidity around 48 to 50. Added water today and humidity is closer to 65 now. Any advice would be appreciated. My 9 year old is coming home from school and expecting babies. hahahaha
