Looks like I'm gonna close out the hatch at 25 of 26. Had the one hatched out when I got home and another just a bit ago. Plan to get a picture here shortly of the last aircell to see if there's any inputs. Not sure if I will get it posted tonight or in the morning.

Hi al! First time hatching chicken eggs via an incubator (have hatched parrot eggs and used a broody hen for chickens in the past). I weighed the eggs at start and today is day 11. (I just read that I shouldn't candle day 10-14 days AFTER I candled UGH)

Out of 38 eggs 30 were fertile, and 28-29 look viable. (1 appeared fertile but didnt see any veining) However they haven't lost much if any weight? Does that mean the 45-48% humidity should be lowered?

Also, I HATE tossing the eggs that are clear....just in case I am mistaken. How long can I safely leave them before needing to remove?

I noticed that there seemed to be different size of growth in them too...some appeared 2/3 full while others just had small moving areas maybe 1/4? Is that normal?

Welcome.

I have a few of my own, up to a 4lb mini-sledge...that should fix it.

I've got an 8 and a 12 if you need anything bigger.

I gotta tell you, though, I've never once hurt my back shoveling rain, but it sure don't do my downhill gravel lane any favors
