NO!

50% is ok. At least that is what I am used to hatching at...

yeah... do what Deb says unless the humidity goes down further. Once they start to zip the humidity will go right back up.

I always have a straw or tube leading into the bators where I can add water. You may want to quickly add a pad.

Or a diaper. They are super-super absorbent.

Got it! No opening the bator! Okay...got to run and press my face against the glass again. Later!

I'm scrambling to find some eggs. I'm trying to avoid e-bay eggs, but it's not looking good.

I hate it when my hens don't cooperate with me!

Oh no, this can't be good. Poor Mahonri-one more thing to fret about.

I know. This fertility thing has me puzzled and freaked out too. We were going along just fine and then fertility dropped to about half and now to who-knows-what. A lot of the test hatchers haven't reported back so I do not know for sure what the fertility rates have been. I am shipping out two more batches of test eggs, one today and one next week then no more until fertility improves, probably in the Spring. I have not charged for the eggs and have promised to refund shipping to anyone who paid for the shipping. I stil feel bad. I think everyone needs a backyard full of Icelandic Coop Surfers!

hmmmm....I wonder if the coop surfing could explain the fertility issue.....

Yep that's what I mean. Sorry about that and thanks.

Speaking of which...I don't have any of those lovely white orpingtons and wish I did so...If you are selling eggs in the future - remember me.

I will be doing that for you or I could give you the members name that I got them from. I think I put it on one of my posts but if you can't do it now I will write you on my calander for next year.
