I set eggs on 2/18 - I marked these eggs because I have different ages in one incubator, and then switch to another for lock down. I basically move out eggs by date and replace so the incubator never stops. So like I moved the rest the other day and have new eggs in their place with dates.
Well, I missed one of the 2/18 eggs. It was still in the turner, still low humidity. I moved the others but I guess I didn't see this one. It pipped this morning, I could hear it chirping - humidity in there is in the low 30's. These aren't expensive eggs or anything, but I still hope it can recover.
I moved it to the "lockdown" incubator (already running with the other 2/18 eggs), wrapped in a damp paper towel. Our ambient humidity is in the 40's or so.
Think it has a chance? It had a big pip but isn't chirping as much since I moved it. I feel bad for missing that egg, and it's chirping alerted me this morning. I thought it was my lockdown incubator but didn't see any pips and my husband found this one in the other one.
