I've got eggs in my Genesis and although my temps are great, I have been struggling with keeping my humidity stable. I've been trying to keep it between 45%-50%, but some mornings I wake up and it has dropped to 20%. Of course I add water immediately and it comes up fairly quickly.
Today is day 10, so I candled and I have 28 out of 42 developing from shipped eggs. The embryos look to be the right size and were moving, but the air cells seemed quite large. Maybe 25% of the egg already. is this too big? Should I try to get the humidity up more? Will the air cell just fill with water and drown the chick, can it actually shrink, or should I just try to keep it from getting too much bigger?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Liz
