For me, this might just be too stressful

I feel ya on the stress!!! To me if I only get 1 egg to hatch, it's a success! Of course always hoping for more. My incubator is the worse at holding temp, "it's a LG so I know, what more should I expect" I am soon going to purchase to R-Com 20, it's suppose to be much more stable and I am hoping will take some of the stress out of the whole incubating process!

To the OP, I think we all have those anxieties when it comes to incubating and hatching. Just remember that you're obviously doing your best, and from there it is up to those little eggs to do their thing. Breathe in, breathe out, you are doing great!

i use an lg and i have had no problems with temp but humidity does go up and down, 30 -50, never below and never above those numbers until lockdown and i have been holding at 65-75%. i currently have one hatched and 2 more pips. which is a total of 11 more needing to hatch and 9 more to pip (12 eggs total in lockdown). i thought i would be constantly checking the eggs at this time but i find myself less worried now than when they were incubating and waiting for the pips to happen and also checking less often as when they were incubating i at least checked the temp and humidity 3-4 times a day.

I went back to read this post.

I wanted to let y'all know that I did finally get a bit more relaxed about the whole thing. But here is the reason: I got myself convinced that nothing was going to hatch, so I didn't fret over it.

On hatch day, nobody was more surprised than me when actual chicks, 4 of 'em, hatched out just fine and healthy.

Since starting to htch eggs a few months ago and my first lock down I seem to have a constant sense of doom, excitement, and anxiety in the center of my being.

It kinda sucks. I feel off in many ways.

That is EXACTLY what I do. I am therefore never disappointed, and often I am thrilled to pieces! To me, having 1 chick hatch is a good hatch! Havong 2 hatch is wonderful, and any more than that I am ecstatic!
