Red plugs should be out during lockdown...
I had lined my mesh with paper towel, it ended up wicking the water out of one of the wells and soaking the towels which increased the surface area of the water, and thus the humidity. I ended up going from 58% humidity to over 90% after the first few chicks hatched. Everything went perfectly until my hatching started... only 16 of 40 eggs hatched, only 13 survived past two days. It was heartbreaking opening eggs and seeing that 20 of them were full term and died from my mistake.
PLEASE if you’re going to use a liner during the hatch, use something non-absorbent!!!
