High Humidity First week of Incubation

[WVduckchick]

Congrats!! Wow pipping and zipping like crazy!

Yes the humidity naturally increases when the babies come out wet. As they dry it will settle back down.

But I won't believe you have babies without photographic evidence

I have this from past store bought chicks. Should I use this or an extra large dog kennel that's almost twice the size? The only problem with the kennel is it had a bunch of holes towards the top

I have a couple that there pips haven't really changed in like 4 hours. Should I be worried??

No way! 4 hours is nothing. I wouldn't begin to worry till pushing 20+ hours.
