Incubating eggs in the classroom- 13 of 22 eggs alive...does this look normal?? Help!

Dumb question.......but is that 25% humidity?

It's because the lid was off of the incubator for candling.

Looks like it. If so, @laurenk16 you might want to bump it up to 40-45%

It's because the lid was off for candling the eggs.

Hi LK16,
I don't think that would be outrageous. Fertility, handling, age of the egg- you don't have much control over that.
Video looked good!
I just finished my first hatch this year and lost a bunch at 8-12 days incubation. Very surprising!
I'm going to watch my humidity early on next time, I suspect it was too low.
Keep us posted on your hatch.

Thanks for your thoughts! Today is day 20...no pipping or chirping yet. I am so anxious!! We candled on Friday before lockdown and everything looked perfect. I hope nothing bad happened!
