Incubating gone wrong

[Sarafena1982]

Yikes, that's a little low, but they retain heat for a while, so they could still be ok.  Keep the humidity up and we'll all keep our fingers crossed!

Just got it up to 99 with the heater

the humidity is at 77% so I would like to lower that back down to 70% This part is so never wracking lol

It probably just went up because of the temp increase. Let it stabilize before you decide to do anything.

I moved my heater about an inch closer to the incubator. I am going to be watching all day don't want it to get too hot. Ugh I know one thing and that's I will be getting a new incubator. I can't believe the heater stopped working 17/18 days in. This is only the 2nd time I've used it.

Happy for you!  Good luck with lockdown and don't count the little underdeveloped fella out just yet!  Keep us posted!

4 chicks in the last 6 hours and everyone else is pipped but three

I had an incubator that behaved poorly as well - I loaded up on thermometers and hygrometers and micro-managed it and still poor hatches. It was heartbreaking. I finally broke down last year and got an expensive one...and now I have more chicks than I need.

Some people can make magic with the smaller 'bators - I can sympathize, because I'm not one of them.

Best of luck!

I would of been so happy I actually got any to hatch at all. Tried twice right after Christmas with the one my grandma got me for Christmas and got little development and blood but nothing gonna try it again now that its closer to summer time hope I figure out how to get a hatch with it.

@Sarafena1982 what happened with the rest?

I got 17 out of the 18 hatched. Last one was born at 10pm last night

So out of my 21 fertile eggs I had 3 pass (still counting the one in the bator it was moving in the shell last night)one at day 6 the other was about day 18 and the 3rd I would say was day 20. So I'm ready happy with being the heater in the bator stopped working on day 17. Here is a picture of a few of them.
