I am so nervous. I have never posted on a forum so i am very sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I am SO NERVOUS and feel like i have no idea what i am doing! I am hating my first batch of eggs from a still air Styrofoam incubator. The dates of my eggs start from 4/27 to 4/29 from the day they were laid. I have removed all bad eggs throughout the process and turned them twice a day. I have no way of measuring my humidity level so i have just made sure to keep a small Tupperware bowl with a sponge wet in it. I stopped turning the eggs for 4 days prior to the hatch date which should have been Friday for the 27th eggs if i am right. However, the first egg to hatch is from the 29th! So far only 4 eggs have began to pip and now one has fully hatched and is moving around now. I think i am going to lose my other eggs. The first problem i see is the other 3 have piped at the smaller end of the egg. I have read this is a serious problem and they may not be able to get out. Another one looks like it piped and then began to bleed and doesn't seem to be moving. I also have not removed the lid throughout the last 4 days. Please help. I do not know what i should do and it is taking EVERYTHING i have not to open the lid and help them.
P.S- I forgot, i have managed to keep my temp at 99.5 degrees from day one with no adjustments. Do i need to lower my temp now that they have begun to hatch?
