If 11 is sticky, then we need to lower that humidity and we will NOT make safe holes on day 35, We will wait. I think that is going to be the problem solver. We were OK when the humidity was low on our lockdown bator, now it seems just as soon as you raised that humidity and put new eggs in and New I mean the most current ones ready for lockdown. That's when we started running into problems again. So this tells me, our gage for the Lockdown bator isn't registering correctly giving us a BIG HEADACHE. So we will go BACK to square ONE, 50-55 for Lockdown bator..

We will, I think I may have figured out our problem

Is everyone With me? Lockdown bator is causing them to get sticky when we Raised the humidity now it's possible that we lost more babies. When we had the humidity at 50-55 we seemed to be just fine, we were suppose to get shrinkwrapped babies and we didn't they hatched out OK

Please tell me if I'm missing something. AND NO WE WILL NOT MAKE SAFE HOLES ON DAY 35, if this is the problem...

SOMEONE gave me an EXCELLENT idea for turning a STILL BATOR into an AIR BATOR. she told me this and I was like OMG, that is SOOO SMART..

She used a Fish PUMP. YEH, put it in the hole of the still bator on top and boom, now she's got an Air bator.. LOL HOW SMART IS THAT??

wouldn't that just push cold/drafty air into the bator?

NO, it's actually working out great because your heat is on top of the bator, so there's a hole, at least mine has it, and if you put that fish pump in the hole, its going to push the heat all around, it will actually help maintain the heat throughout the bator, and she tells me her ducks are more activite inside. LOL.
