Thanks, I sprayed it with water about an hour before I went ones, and I left it because it looked like he was going to get out on his own ! On other news, one of thie chicks hatched, I left this morning at 7, and there was nothing! I came home, and there he was walking around screeching! I candles the other it, by the looks of it 4 have died, 3 are trying to pip into the air save, and 1 I saw moving but he didn't look, to be to fused on getting out!! I'm not worried, as the hatch date was meant to be tomorrow!

EEEEK, the only thing is you don't know how old those eggs are right now.. After 2 weeks they loose there fertalty the soon they get in the better chance.

OK so you take 2 days then you have to add the number of days it took to get to you. Lets say three so now that egg is up to 5 days old, then you want to wait so you have to add those days. You should still be under the 2 weeks mark so you maybe OK..

Ok I should be putting them intomorrow, if my new hydrometer comes, I ordered it on Monday, said I should be here by Friday! The last one, I got was awful, the humidity never changed, I added boiling water to get it up, and it stayed at 40%, it was £7 what a waste!! And I have a final count of 5 chicks :/ pretty bad from 21 eggs, out of that 9 were infertile, and 6 died during incubatIon! I done an egg tipsy on 3 of the eggs, they looked as if they had just died befor and during lockdown, they were all absorbing their yolk, and we're all fully formed!
