Hatching Khaki Campbell eggs

[Corinne23]

I am hatching 5 khaki eggs I have the humidity at 80-81% is that ok or should I bring it down today 2 have internally pipped I did lockdown on Monday, day 25. My temp is also at 98. I put a Tupperware bowl in with a paper towel and water to keep humidity up. Any advice or anything I should change before they externally pip?

I don’t usually go that high for hatching
65-75 range but mine did jump this last time to 80 and mine did fine
But that’s after some hatched it jumped
If you can get it a little lower as it will spike when they hatch

Once baby moves into the air cell it looks smaller cause it’s got baby in there
I do see the beak

2 we’re external pipped this morning!!

That’s exciting
If the air cells were smaller they may external pip faster but take longer from external to zip

I just got home I have a third one that is making more progress then the 2 this morning. They haven’t made a bigger pip it’s the same size as it was 8 hours ago.

I notice 8-12 hours after first pip they make a second pip
I have had one pip then zip at 8 hours
That was really fast
Most are around 24-36 hours
Some a bit longer
i can’t wait to see pics when they hatch
