I have 18 eggs "cooking" right now. At 10 days 2 of the eggs have lost a little too much moisture the others are right on track for a 14% weight/moisture loss. How do I decrease the moisture loss in the two without affecting the others, or do I not worry about?

Thanks!

IT is a draw. Depending on what you have for an incubator, a corner get less air movement usually, and near the fan gets more.

Good luck.

I usually forget about mine till they are pipped or hatching before I get them in lockdown.

Apparently I can't count. I have 49 eggs in the bator and I must have had 50 before I dropped an egg.......

If you have 49 now, and dropped one, the probability is fairly good that you had 50 eggs in there originally

You seem to be able to count just perfectly...
