Hands on hatching and help

[WVduckchick]

And our tendency to be sarcastic....lol

I apologize for my sarcasm. I forgot there would be many that don't know my silly humor.

2 have hatched, a male and a female. And it was the 2 eggs that were internally pipped when I moved them to a different broody box on Saturday. Notice the pip in the egg furthest to the right, so another one should be out fairly soon

As a hands-on hatcher, i think she was torturing me on purpose!
#3 is out.

Look at her, all non-chalant, as its zipping right beside her, and I'm staring down from above. Unreal!! She finally turned toward it just as it was about to push out.

She's all, "And this is how a Pro does it!"

She was probably thinking you need a chill pill, lol.

Does anyone here have experience with Brinsea Ovation incubators? I had an Octagon before with autohumidity control and that worked perfect but with the Ovation humidity is not going below 40% when I have it set at 33%. Room humidity is 22% so that is not causing it. Vent is open all the way.

P.S. I have 36 Orp eggs on Day 15/16 in 2 incubators. 26 in an Ovation and 10 in a PI-24.
I plan on giving the chicks to 2 broodies when they hatch.

Just bumping to see if someone has an answer

I have 2 Octagons. One digital with the humidity pump, one analog. I can't think of anyone with an Ovation, they are so new. There is an Ovation thread, you may get some info there.

Have you tried meters that have been tested and are accurate to see if the unit is reading properly?

Good news! I woke up this morning to a few new chicks! The one with the air cell on the side hatched just fine overnight! A day early!!!!

Do you think this chick sleeping on my thermometer/hydrometer will cause an inaccurate reading?
