i did dry and the humidity stayed on 18- 28 and now i added water and i would not go up from 45- 52. i think that my reading is not good cause it has spongs and water cups and all

Cups of water will not help.....you need large space of wet towels, rags, or sponges. And 50 would be good for you, you are in FL correct? I am sure your humidity is high there.

Hi guys

I had a 6 hour power outage on day 18. On day 21 three pipped and hatched. Today is day 23. No more pips or hatched.
I did three "eggtopsies" selected at random. All three were perfectly formed full grown chicks with a good yellow yolk, no signs of bacteria or any other issue - apart from being totally dead!
The night before the power outage all of them were moving inside their eggs.....

Really sad.

Have 12 eggs still in incubator, shall I sit tight or bin them?

Candle them first to see if there beack is peeped inside of the egg and if it has then u could help by cracking a little hole for air...
