No more since that last cochin baby yesterday afternoon - no activity either. I'm leaving the eggs in until either tonight or tomorrow morning, though.
Now.... I was reading and I think the prob with the two rir chicks was squishy chick - caused by too high humidity - BUT - how is it they had too much and the others had too little????
Maybe was a dif in shell quality?
They are both ok, btw - the one is still a little floppy, but it is up and walking on it's legs, now. The other rir chick is running around with the first chick and teasing everyone else, so it is totally fine
it seems odd that it was the two rir and the others weren't rir. All I can figure is dif egg shells from dif hens.
hmmm....

Could be the shells, but that's what I was saying about the fan. It is amazing how much of a difference it makes in the humidity. Before I put mine in there, I would fill all the little troughs im the bottom, plus have 2 bowls with water and sponges, and have paper towel or washcloth in there as well. I could never get my humidity over 55% at most. Since I added the fan, I barely put any water in one of the small trays in the bottom, and the humidity soars. So it could quite possibly be low humidity for one, and high humidity for another.That's my opinion, take it or leave it.
