Only ONE of my lavender eggs hatched over the weekend, and it was a lavender split, so its black. I lost the other four lavender eggs, and another two blue/black eggs. I suppose I shouldn't have left our very irresponsible roomate in charge of everything, since it would appear he didn't pay attention to the outside birds as well.
But, I got to thinking that even though the incubator was holding temps perfectly, and humidity hasn't been an issue, the only other thing that I can attribute it to is the aftermarket jerry rigged PC cooling fan I had in there was TOO strong. So I'm going back to basics, and removing it, and going to use the 1602n as a still air as it was meant to be.
I have about 6 blue/black eggs to go in there, and four more lavender eggs going in tonight, after I level off the still air temps. We'll see if the removal of the fan helps out and ups my hatch rate. I'm very tired of loosing 3/4 of all the eggs I set. I'm assuming that even though humidity is high, the fan is drying them out too much.
I've had very high still air hatch rates in the past, so we'll see if I can recover from this bad run...
