I Feel Like I'm Going Crazy

Great article! Thank you. I've read about humidity before but I really like the way the author broke it down and explained it in a practice way.

Thanks

So my mom just got home from work and texted me the current #'s. The temp seems to be fluctuating between 99 and 102. It was 100 when I left this morning and now it's reading 101.5. Is that too high? My humidity is at 65% which I am happy with.

It's shouldn't compromise the hatch, but it's a tad higher than you want to see for a forced air incubator. You really want to keep it under 101. 99-100 is the best.

I GOT A PIP!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's exactly where I drew the X when marking the lowest point of the air cell before lockdown.

And a second pipped egg along with some chirping. I hope I wake up to a baby or two!

Woke up to 8 pipping eggs but no one is unzipping yet.

It's going to be a long but exciting day for you!! Congrats on the pips. Hopefully you'll have some chicks by tonight!

We have a hatch! This is a Barred rock X Polish. Is it okay that the humidity jumped to 76%? I definitely don't want it that high due to my staggered eggs but I have 10 other current pips!!!
