Ok, so here is what I am thinking and please, I have very little experience here so if you think I am wrong chime in... Hubby just reminded me we woke up a few times to find the house temps in the mid to low 60's and the temp on the bator running at 98 or so... could it be on the eggs that have definite movement that they may just be behind a few days? What if I leave the bator alone for two days and then candle again to see if they have grown, I do have a couple that I question, doubt they are alive but I don't want to risk being wrong on even one of them. I know I am going to take the advice of others and not even bother with lockdown until I see an internal pip... What do you think my chances are of salvaging this hatch?

I just bought a incubator that has a digital humidity and temperature on no windows. Should I be worried about it

They usually don't work well at all. I have one also. It is waay off. Just buy one at Walmart. I use the black ones that they carry..they are large, but work well.

I don't know enough about the incubators to give you a definite answer. Many others will be more reliable for advice

So some of you ad NO water at all? Colorado is super dry, at least my part is, and I was afraid the humidity would be zero.

I do have a few of both but the thing is that it doesn't have windows so if the thermometers is in I will have to open it to see the temperatures

. This is skunk 5 days old and love the color of the feathers coming in looking around the eyes just now think its name should be Cleo patra

Very pretty, Yes Cleopatra fits better.

Do you hand turn..so that you can check it when you open to turn? Or do you have a turner?

Have to say..I not familiar with the bators with no windows. ? hmmm....

What breed is it? I'm hoping my chicks have some cool looks like pin striping or something.
