Except for me!

will the chicks shrink wrap if the humidity is ok and they have not pipped ...if you have to open the incubator during lockdown?

No, they shouldn't. Just don't open too much.

 

[Sherry 928]

It's actually a very simple question. That does not require much in the way of thinking nor time.

TIPS TRICKS for Incubators

Wrapping a bator for steadier temps post #25454

What is the maximum and minimum range of temp I can go before killing the chicks? post #12473
What to do when you find a HIGH TEMPS in Bator post #7061

I have a lg 9300 and it was working fine and the power went out for a second and it changed my setting up and it spiked to 110 last night and I got to it quickly

I took the top off a little to let out some heat....I was in lockdown on day 20 and I saw no pips and the humidity had gone to 80 percent and it dropped to like 71 and I thought that was ok since it was too high anyway. I tried to lower the temp without opening and it kept going up even with the incubator set on 80 degrees...so I did open it a little and then I noticed a chick pipping at that momemt.

TIPS n TRICKS to raising humidity in incubators post #42512 Humidity pumps DIY ETC post #79960

I had to assist it today because it was stuck and so far it is doing ok...but I have duck eggs and other chick eggs in the incubator that all should be hatching today....

Try not to open the bator at all if you can avoid it. see tips tricks on adding humidity

I saw that atleast one duck has broken thru the air sac but not pipped and he is still moving...my question is do you know how to tell if they all were shrink wrapped like the one that pipped during the spike? Did I kill all my babies when I opened it....today is suppose to be hatch day and no more have pipped...

CHICKS Wet? Sticky? Stuck? Yellow Gel? What did I do Wrong? post #25379

also when my incubator humidity drops during lockdown it always spikes when I have to add water ...warm or cool water ...it doesnt matter...if I had water the heat always spikes. I know I need a better incubator. Do I have to let my ducks and chicks die if they are shrink wrapped...they have not pipped and I can't open it again because it is in lockdown

short spikes are fine

I have a fan and it day 21 and day 28....I have ducks and chicks that are in there together
