Hi everyone
I'm very disheartened at the moment as I believe I have accidentally killed most of our chicks . This is our first time incubating and when I purchased the incubator I made sure to ask the lady at tractor supply lots of questions on how to incubate. She said that she had done it before and that I needed to watch the temperature and make sure that there was always water in the treys. So I have been very diligent to keep the treys full of water. I am on day 18 and just now after reading about lockdown realized that my humidity has been way to high (like 80%) for the whole time. I'm so devastated. I candled the eggs and some are still alive and moving but the air sacks are small. Is there anyway to help these little guys? My children are going to be so disappointed . And what should my humidity be at now considering it has been high the whole time? I can't even sleep thinking about those poor little babies
