I searched and didn't find any posts for this, so here it goes.....
To all those that have incubated small eggs.... seramas, japanese, smaller bantams, etc. ..... do you find that they do better in an incubator with all small eggs. Have you had success hatching them along with larger eggs???
I had 4 d'uccle eggs in with my large eggs. 2 were scrambled and the two I have left have living chicks in them. Last night when I candled I was on day 14. But the air cells seem really rather large..... and this has me very concerned. Is this normal??? Maybe they needed a higher humidity than the larger eggs so they wouldn't lose as much so fast??? The large eggs look great. From pics I've seen on candling they are how they should be. My humidity has been close to 40% for most of the time. There has been few fluctuations... I think my house must have a matching humidity level due to the rain lately.
I think next time if I am going to have small eggs... I will do only small eggs together in the bator. Any suggestions or experiences with this? Am I being overly concerned??? Has anyone else noticed this delima before? I REALLY want these 2 little eggs to hatch! All the pics of candled eggs online are of standard size eggs..... so I don't have much to go on. Keeping my fingers crossed since so far they are still kickin
