Kiki's found horse eggs—experiment Round 2

Houston = VERY HUMID always.

Right, I forget that Texas is a BIG state. I've only been to Texas once and we drove through the Northern "pan handle" and it was hot and dry there.

Let me just say, nutridrench is MIRACULOUS stuff! One of the chicks I assisted kept turtling on its back any time I set it down. It was trying to pick its head off the ground but would flip over. I gave it a drop of nutridrench straight, and within 5 min the chick was holding itself up without flipping over.

Wow that's very high, sorry I didn't realise how high the humidity gets where you live. Maybe the dry hatches are best for you. I haven't used a styrofoam incubator so I have no idea what sort of iusses they have with high humidity, my incubator is stainless steal and the house humidity is around the 40s. 45-55% then last 3 days in the 60s has always worked best for me, I've never had any drown and once while I was away at school for a few hours the humidity spiked to 99%, but the very next day the chick hatched perfectly.
I feel like 25% humidity is really low but perhaps that's better where you live to compensate for the high humidity

Impossible for that chick to hatch itself
