I got an incubator and eggs from a lady. She kept the eggs at 60 degrees for less than a day before she gave them to me. I had the incubator set up but only at 95 degrees. The humidity wasn't where it should have been either. This is day 3, is it too early to candle the eggs? They are Buff Orpingtons mostly. And what do you think about the degree she kept them until she gave them to me?

no you should see a dark spot in there but if you wait tell day 7 you can tell better the humidity for the first 15 to 18 day should be at 50 to 65% then the list 3 day the humidity should Be 75% but i keep eggs at 50 degrees before i hatch them good luck and hope this helps post pic when they hatch

Awe! Thank you for remembering me! They are doing good! Out of 14 eggs, 9 are fertile. Today is actually their due date! I can't wait. They have been in lock down for the past 3 days. I checked this morning for any attempts in break outs, but they wasn't any yet
