This is my 1st hatch. Following directions, I kept the hygrometer at 50-60%. After finding this forum, I have learned that can cause real issues.
Forum member phoenix 912 was kind enought to tell me about a thread called Update. The Great Debate: Is it the incubator or the egg?
In this thread they suggested that you try a dry lock down if your humidity has been too high during Days 1-18. So that is where I'm at right now. I removed the eggs from the egg turner (Day 18), have no added water and the hygrometer is reading 40%. I'm not sure how to get it to lower more. (I live in Arizona. The incubator is in my laundry room.)
Out of 10 eggs, we have seen 9 moving which is very exciting for us but what should I do now?
From what I've read, it looks like they could drown even though they made it to this point.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
