Mahonri's 2nd Annual NYDHatch, watching them grow...

Quote:
I have a Brinsea Octagon Advance with the humidity pump. Temps have been stable (99.6), humidity has been stable (40% before lockdown and 60% after lockdown) . Just have no idea what could be wrong. My only guess is that the temperature might be running low but reading higher. I am going to order the spotcheck before I try this again. DH has even stated that he will be bummed if nothing results from this first attempt and that we will have to try again. I do want to thank everyone for their encouragement and advice through all of this. What a great bunch of folks!

I've got the Eco and a stupid flukers thermometer/hygrometer. That thing is way off. When I started hatching it said my humidity was at 50% but my chicks came out perfect. Today it was reading 60% so I didn't put any water in. Now I know why my chicks are nasty sticky with shell fragments stuck to them! I just added some more water so hopefully that will undo some of the damage to the current SLOW pips I have by listening to the stupid Flukers.

I see it Kathy but I think it is real too. Could be that the color of the feathers around the eye is making it look bigger?

OK. Still nothing. I slipped a pencil in one of my air holes to turn the eggs around a bit, hoping to find something hidden; no such luck. I know my little babies were alive Tuesday night. Should I try to candle tonight?

I figure a pip is better than an egg sitting there doing nothing.

I think I would!!!

Should I cover the eggs in a warm wet washcloth just in case while I'm taking one out?​
