Half Shell Hatch-A-Long! (Caution, unsuccessful, please read whole thread before attempting)

I wouldn’t use it... I would get regular triple antibiotic ointment with no pain killer. That’s what I use to moisten membranes.

Ok, thank you. That's what I thought too, just wanted some confirmation.

Sorry I have been so late in posting these pics. I just took them an hour ago. All 4 eggs are still alive and going strong! @SnapdragonQ your tp tube holder idea is working great for me. Thank you for that.
It is day 10 for 2 eggs (the one I opened the air cell on is one of the 2)
Day 9 for 1 egg, and day 8 for the other.
Ok, now here are pics. @CluckNDoodle @JaeG @FortCluck @Trisseh @MysteryChicken @TheOddOneOut @BirdsBeesTrees

I've decided one of these is going to have to be named ET if it hatches. I'll be posting daily updates from now on, and pics every other day. If anyone has any tips/ideas feel free to share. Humidity is currently at 66%. The membrane on the one (the one I opened the air cell on) is impossible to see through, but it remains a good color so humidity must be good.

Also, @HeatherKellyB do you want to follow? You should try this sometime, I think you'd find it amazing.

Come on babies!

I have some eggs in my incubator but they are all a bit precious. They are English Araucana eggs in Partridge and Birchen and they are on day 5. But at some point it would be fun to try this and show the kids.

Oh, yes, those eggs sound awesome! Let us know if they hatch! (and pics of course) They should hatch around the same time as mine, just a couple days behind.

Oh wow those are looking good!
I see you have the eggs right up front with a gauge (temp?) on both sides. How are you finding the temps are holding for you? Did you make any adjustments to the settings?

My last batch I placed a govee gauge with bluetooth on the turner and found there were well defined and regular temp fluxuations in temps. They were like clockwork in a 24 hour period so chalked it up to hot/cold spots along the daily trip around the NR360.
