I'm a newbie at incubating and although I've read everything there is to read I am a nervous wreck, I am worried i have had my humidity to low the last 14 hours or so (went into lockdown at 3pm yesterday) It hovered around 60 until I woke up this morning and it was at 52!!! The only thing that worked to get it back up was to put in the plugs and add hot water, it stayed at 58-59 most of the day and then started going down again, I have been searching this site and read where the plugs have to be out to allow the chicks to have oxygen, I have no sponges and not alot of room in the bator (20 eggs are in there now) so I added more hot water and now its hovering at 69 I'm leaving the plugs out but worried I have hurt the chicks, before lockdown I was talking to the eggs and they were moving ( I know, imagine, a 44 year old women talking to eggs) and now they arent.. I know dumb huh, but it gave me so much hope that things had went so well and now I am worried I messed it up.
