Here's the one and only picture of Blob de Blob and the famous blob. It's kind of hard to see, and the picture doesn't do it justice. Oh golly, was it nasty

Yeah, that appears to be worse than I thought. It does look like the insides are on the outside, poor little guy. RIP little guy.

I'm doing my 3rd incubation in 3 months, second time for my neighbor. And I'm doing it in her LG. THe screen is reading 99.1 degrees and 40-60%, whereas the $8 hydrometer/thermometer I bought for my Brinsea is reading 90 degrees 40%. Which one is correct? If It really is 90 then will development be slower?
Also, the bator has the auto-turner. How many times a day does it turn?

Mine turns in 2 hour increments. It takes an hour to turn one way and come back then an hour to turn the opposite and come back. As for the LG displays, they are notorious for being off. Most people that use the 9300 model have to turn the heater up 2-3 degrees higher than the temp they are aiming for to get it right. I'd double check your thermometer if you can and go by that. If you incubate the whole period at 90F it is doubtful that you will have any hatch and if you do it is doubtful that they will be healthy. My first hatch had a bad thermometer found out I incubated at 93-94F the whole time and ended up with one that hatched and lived at day 24. He is special needs because his legs are right and it throws off his balance.

Ok, thanks. I turned pushed the UP button a couple of times, but I don't know if it's doing anything. Today is day 2 and I added 5 more eggs today. So there are 18 BO eggs and 7 silkie eggs of mine.

It's hard to tell is that his blob under neath him???

Or does he have his foot stuck in some gooy stuff and is the gooy stuff coming from his belly button??

The light is on Blob's blob, which is on his rear. The chick head you're seeing is NOT Blob. Blob is laying down and his head is in the shadow on the right

Humidity is still at 60-70%, temp at 95-96. I can't get the water out. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!!? The air cells are pretty big but it is only day 9. I'd post pics but wifi is stinky AS USUAL

OUCH, that's really high, can you move the bator into another room? Like the basement or some place where there's a/c or where it's cooler?
