Hummmm that is interesting I can't see the corn starch doing anything but the silicia could. But I have t tried that.

Corn starch is a moisture absorber. Think gravy, it's a thickener! I'll be honest, if YOU'RE struggling... Well, tough to imagine!!!

Yep but that's kind of like saying flour would give the same results because flour thickens gravy. I'll try anything don't get me wrong. I'll let you know what has the good results.

I mean I thought the baking soda was a good idea and then I read chalk helps absorb but neither one of those did anything. Lol

I'm hoping you figure something out... This is kinda like, who do the Ghostbusters call???

Today is lockdown and the humidity has been almost even at 30% and temp 99 since fussy day 11. I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't lockdown till tomorrow because 5 of the eggs were set 2 days later, and the temp at the beginning was low at 94. Is that a good choice or no?
And Lacrystol, I realized i actually will be home for hatching day. hopefully no one has problems they need assisting in. BUT I ain't cleaning the bator!

as soon as those little chickies hatch they're going homeward--along with the stinky bator.
