hatching experiment home made

[lazy gardener]

I use tinfoil all over the place in my bator as heat baffles. You can get it rigged the way you think it needs to be, then, if needed, poke a few holes to let more heat through.

I candled my eggs 24,25,27,28,29,30
All looked great I seen movement some very active two are moving but slowly that was 24, and 27. I seen in three significant air sack growth I have two whos air sack are set nearly on the side of the egg could this be a problem?

I was really think dead after I had another door drop incident however eggs were much wormer than last so think got there before it got too cold. Then yesterday I had a spike in heat my oldest daughter thought it was suposed to be shut up ..even though I had tape too keep it in place.. rolling eyes..
My digital humidity thing is only at 21. I hope being able to close tbe door will remedy this. If not what can be done to increase it? I found a 30wt bulb but its a three setting kind 30/70/100wt.. it said if put In a socket with just one setting it would only use one of the settings.. my question, what setting my thought would be the lower one????
I dont how to test it to find out other just putting it in.

a three way bulb in a standard socket normally gives the middle wattage. lower + middle = highest.

veins are the most important. If you see those you are good.
