Hi everyone!!! It has been soooo long since I spoke to all yall. Ok so!!!! This is my 2nd time hatching eggs in my bator ( Havo Bator ) and the first time 9 out of my 10 eggs hatched!!

This time I have 14 in there and on day 19 when I went in lock down I candled them all and everyone was moving.... NOW, my little stinker opened the bator and the temp and humidity dropped

, but once it was shut it went right back up real fast. Mine has a fan in it I think it helps. Ok so she opened it and its day 20, everything dropped but went right back up.... BUT THEN I had an egg pip after about 20 minutes!! Has this happened to anyone before

? I hope I wont have any shrink wrapped babies!! Its peeping at me so that's a big plus! Any info???

I actually often open to check things during the last few days. It is possible that a few may be shrink wrapped but I think they should be okay as long as the humidity is back up and it stays up. Congrats on your previous hatches and good luck with this one!

 

[what did I do]

Mine gets opened all the time during hatch and I still get a good hatch. A fast open and closed doesn't seem to hurt much.

I hatch eggs so the kids can learn. If one or two die the kids can learn from that too.
