All ten of my broody's eggs are empty!That means, only one didn't survive hatching, and that was mostly due to the hen's curiosity. Gotta love a broody with a 90% hatch rate. Whether or not she'll be able to take care of them all is something I'll find out in a day or two. For now, I'm just happy they hatched.
Yea but if your air cells are to small than you'll want RH down.

Very nice, good luck!Don't think I posted a update here. Picked up some eggs sat to replace the ones I fried. 8 EE, and 3 dzn mixed color giant cochin. turner only holds 41 so total set was the 8 EE and 33 of the giant cochin. Broody is still sitting tight. Unfortunately she cracked 2 of the eggs she was on so that only leaves 2. One of the ones she cracked looked pretty close to hatch but I didn't catch it soon enough. Should be sometime soon but I forget when she started sitting.
That's pretty good!
Out of 12 eggs on day 14, 5 questionable, probably clear, left in;7 showing veins, movement in most. Air cells growing...probably not enough...not surprising, given fluctuating RH from day 1
Is the rooster not covering all the hens? & is a good number to hatch,
