Is humidity too high?

[Hdomaille]

Day 20. 1 egg in a small incubator. Prob fits 4 quails. It’s at 70%. Small amount of condensation. Is this going to kill the chick? No pips yet So opened a little to let some humidity out. No rolling Yet either. Candeling showed Was doing brilliant on day 17. Good Air cell size . Even Saw a foot push out. So amazing But I am a first timer. Any advice?

I put a rubber band over the incubator as I added 2 layers of liner on top of the egg shelf so I could lay the egg down for hatch as it didn’t have any hard floor.

The white stuff is dry nail varnish I applied 2 weeks ago as had a hairline crack. No probs with development or oozing

You should b ok so long as your air cell should the right development.

Thanks the air cell was a bit bigger On lockdown than the pencil mark you can see on that photo . I didn’t draw again.

Sounds like it hadn’t start or just started the drawdown. You should be fine. I had a chick hatch that was similar last week.

So excited! I see a pip. Day 23. Question. Humidity is 64/65 should I leave or does it need to be increased?. I will top it up as usual once it drops to 60/62. No way can I sleep now!
