I have FBCM eggs in my hovabator (and under my broody) and it's lockdown day! :: bites nails ::
Here are my questions:
1. Hovabator: I only filled one of the troughs and the humidity is at 70% (after 20min)....do I go ahead and fill the second? That's what the directions say but I wasn't sure if I should. (temp is 99)
Should I remove one of the plugs?
2. Candling: Almost all the eggs are completely dark and I can't make out air cells anymore in both the bator and my broody. Is that the nature of BCM eggs? I'm nervous. My flashlight has been amazing up to this point. I was able to detect movement in the ones under my broody at day 10 but down it's all dark.
