I screwed up!!! Is everything gonna be okay??!?!?!! Day 7

[cjeanean]

Okay, I was re-reading about the humidity, and realized that I'm supposed to have the humidity at 50% for days 1-18, not 60%. I have 13 jumping little eyes right now, are they gonna make it to become fuzzy chicks??? I'm on day 7, so up until now they've been at 55-60%....

Dont sweat it you can still hatch at that. The temp is the big screw up anything over 104 you fry them most of the time

Well, all but one of my 14 eggs were fertile, the 14th had a blood spot that I found yesterday and confirmed today. All the others are lively and jumping around when I candle, even the tiny SF eggs. This is my first hatch so I'm a little frazzled, I just want day 21 to be here!!!! Thanks for reassuring me, I'm gonna let the humidity go down on its own, then keep it at 50%. Thanks again!!!
