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

[Sally Sunshine]

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!!! @Angiebubs parrot eggs under a broody!! and they didnt break them? sweet!! its ok on the candle I use all coolerbators and they have lights on and off non stop. yes lower humidity. leave them until day fourteen if they dont stink until you know what your looking for! are you rotating your eggs around the bator at times? perhaps hot and cold spots?

I looked at it half a dozen times; still couldn't make heads or tail out of it. Never would have guessed a pig

Now can you see it?

The coffee he gives me is in a planter.

Don't hurt yourself because you are the only one on here that ... Just don't hurt yourself!

That is 100% confusing because ... Well, because I am missing something.

I won't hurt my own feelings by saying I am on my way. So I will just say I am envious!

Ok.

Yeah, I was wondering if I had done something wrong that I didn't have it. Now I am thinking that they give it at the end of the month, not the day.
