HELP!! 2 days till hatch...

[aurorarose25]

is it ok if the temp goes up to 102.7 and humidity to 65%. I don't want to open the bator to lower the temp, but it is not really going down on temp. Its steady. Is that ok...

If you are that close to hatching, it could be that the chicks are generating their own heat in the shell causing the bator temp to go up. 65% humidity sounds good for hatch time, it will keep the membranes from drying out.

I have had my bator spike up to 104-105 and the majority of the chicks still hatched, so don't panic just yet. You don't say what kind of bator you have, but if anything, I would try to nudge the temp knob down just slightly before I opened the bator.

Good luck with your hatch!
