Good thing you are marking the progress of the air sac, so you will know when they may need help. Praying they just hatch out no problems for you!

It's meant to be a guide, but it's no guarantee, lol. My last batch of Muscovy eggs was a disaster and when I did peafowl it was 50%.

Bob, Lori what do you think about closing the vents during the first part of incubation to thin the shells and help encourage embryonic growth by raisingthe CO2 levels?

Well I know for my incubator I have one vent opened and I cover half my bator with a shirt but only in the winter time summer time no shirt. I do have an air incubator so I'm sure that helps a lot..

What happened with your last batch? Is that the time your hen was sitting? Got some shrink wrap or where they incubated?

Quote: I really meant to, but I kept forgetting to write it down and once the hen had ben sitting for seven to ten days I was really confused.

Seems to happen a lot these days.

this is the clutch that broody mom gave up on. That's why she doesn't know the exact date.
