I'm in the panhandle of FL and want to find out what others do with hatching by incubator in humid FL.
I hatch in a LG still air bator with temp btw 100-102. I try to keep humidity around 35% until day 19 when I up to around 65%. I use shipped eggs. My issue is that out of 24 eggs I might get btw 4-7 that hatch. When I eggtopsy the others that make it to lock down (this time 14 eggs made it to lockdown) they are usually fully formed but still wet or else have a clear gel it's in and did not even internally pip from. . Can someone suggest things I can do to improve my hatch rate? I'm so sad to see so many get so close. I wonder if hatches will be better in cool fall and spring?
