INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Darker eggs typically need lower humidity to lose the appropriate amount of weight. Are you using weight loss to gauge your humidity or do you also have a calibrated hygrometer?

I have a calibrated hygrometer but it doesn't fit quite right in the brinsea. I am not relying on weighing and measuring aircells. When I did put the hygrometer in there in the beginning it was in the high 50s with a cap full of water. Currently with no water I am at 27%.

At 27% you should be fine. I forget, what day are your eggs on again?


HUMIDITY Humidity is NOT a set number!

Its a tool to get the correct weight loss in the egg! post #7068 see Hatching Eggs 101

WHY do we need less humidity to get the best weight loss for colored hatching eggs during incubation? post #36320

Sent that too fast. I AM relying on weighing and aircell. Sorry for the confusion. I am on Day 7.

So then once I get back to my target weight loss with some, do I just ignore my dark brown one. I dont want the others to loose too much weight while helping that one get on track. Does that make sense?

Nope. Gonna go check em out now.

At day 7 you should be fine with having some a little on the small side and some on target. People will incubate all different colored eggs successfully together so the dark brown one isn't a loss until it doesn't hatch. I would try to keep the humidity right around the 30% mark and candle them again either day 10 (for the smaller ones) or day 14.
