IF my humidity dropped to 60...

Is that ok? Its lockdown none of them made a hole yet only cracks.

Pipping isn't a hole per say, but a breaking of the outer shell, cracks as you are describing them. I would get warm to mildly hot water and use an old sock or rag, dip in the water and quickly place in the bator. This helps pump up the humidity. Ours dropped last week during lockdown, had a pip already and added the rag with warm water. Ended with 7 of 9 hatching from the last call duck eggs for the year.

PS

I also have a new, clean spray bottle I fill with warm water and mist locked down eggs if I have to open the bator. Helps keep humidity up.

duckguyy, those eggs still have not hatched. Do not open incubator. Add hot water through the vent holes on top. I use a straw and chicken injector (looks like a syringe, ironic huh) I hope you get humidity back up. Michele
