Day 20..you still have time..leave them in there.  Give them time.  Don't be grumpy.  :/

I will leave them in until my other eggs arrive and have settled, so at least until Saturday. It's just from he top everything looked peachy keen. And I should've checked the underside too... It's my own fault, I had a serious humidity drop on day 10, lost 3 eggs that day, I guess it did more damage than I thought.

Day 20 and I see some wiggling, no pips yet. I am not feeling good about my chances now. On lockdown I saw many incomplete CAMs, apparently I am cursed with them....... So out of 25 eggs that I thought were perfect though with some small aircells I feel I will be lucky if I get 5 chicks.....

my Phoenix eggs are also late, I'm feeling very grumpy and disappointed.

you just haven't worked out the system yet you'll get maybe it will be better than you think

Day 10..humidity drop shouldn't cause death...you can even get down to 0 and be ok..temp on the other hand..will make a big difference..but also, on day 10, if the temp doesn't change too much, they should be fine.

what's next in terms of the incubator or what's next in terms of building? Incubator is essentially functioning. Still need to calibrate my thermo/hydros, and figure out my vent holes and attach the hinges. Superficially Still alot of sanding to smooth out the edges and I've been considering staining it to give it a nice finish.

I agree small air cells say the humidity was to high not to low . heat spikes do much more damage . I'd be looking that way. got to head off to sleep lots to do you all have a good night

Good night..me too!

Temp has been totally stable, humidity got down to 15% for at least a few hours and the were 3 bloodrings that night all at the same time. Maybe it's related maybe not, but that's all I am think of as affecting the CAM since they were all in an auto turner, so they got turned plenty.
