Is the bottom egg fertile? Both eggs are about 3 days old.

Its Not a good view, but it does not look fertile to me.

So do you kind of wiggle & move the tube around to squirt water where you want?

I have a tiny funnel & tube taped in place that leads to my water dish. (How I normally add water.) During the last days, I add sponges & wet rags in addition to the wider water dish. I can keep the dish full, but perhaps another pipeline may be the answer.

That is what I do. I try to position the sponge where it is easy to get to from the vent, but yep that's what I do.

The bottom egg does not look fertile, but it is difficult to see.
The top one is fertile

Has anyone ever heard of this product? Does it really work? Someone in a Facebook group swears by it but I'm skeptical. http://www.ebay.com/itm/hatching-eg...hatching-eggs-on-sale-this-week-/181634140158

Well I learned the hard way that having the heat on in the house really messes with my incubator humidity! I had 40 eggs make it to lockdown, but only 14 hatched

. I found it impossible to get/keep my humidity over 60 those last 3 days. These were for my daughters science fair project comparing home to shipped eggs. For the home eggs, out of curiosity , I let my Buff Orpington Rooster mate with my Cuckoo Maran hens and the babies are beautiful!!

Crzyckldy,it is hard with the humidity but when I'm on lockdown with my eggs I just put a sponge usually and drip water on it when I see the temperature start to go down.I have 12 eggs in my incubator right now and my first egg hatched this morning and I have one more about ready and then 3 more are tipping so I'm crossing my fingers and there a day early also.wish me luck

I like this adorable chick! We hatched a mystery chick that looked just like this one. She's now one of my fav hens.

I had one similar to that color. Her face was the color of red velvet cake. She turned out to be a partridge-looking hen, only much redder than a regular partridge.

I must have taken a lot of pics of my beautiful chick.
Now as an adult, she's always ready to strike pose.



.....Even when I'm trying to take a pic of another chicken!
