Humidity at lockdown

[Colorfulchickens]

Hi. I know this question gets asked a lot, but looking for humidity guidance. My eggs are on day 18, I just candled prior to lockdown and had to remove one. When I did the eggtopsy the baby seemed pretty “stuck” to the inner membrane. This makes me concerned about the other eggs... should I run lockdown at a higher than normal humidity... like 70/75%? We had a massive incubator failure at day 14 which no doubt affected the eggs, so it may just be that, just want to do the right thing. Weight loss when measured just now (end of day 18) is three eggs lost 13% and one egg lost 10%. Thanks!!

It wouldn't hurt to run it at a slightly higher humidity - mine is usually in the 70-75% range, but it may just have been the fact that that particular egg died and the changes in the egg because it died made it stick to the membrane.

Good luck with the rest of the eggs.
