This is my second hatch.
First hatch was 30%, I now believe I was having humidity issues.
I have a hova 1588, auto turner and new digital hygrometer (didn't have that last time)
Started with 30 big beautiful eggs from a fellow BYCer.
candled and removed three definate infertiles on day 7, one was scramble, one a double yolker and one just nothing I believe that gives him a 96.5% fertility rate (?)
day 11 candeling showed slightly smaller than expected air cells, I believe this was from my slightly higher than should be humidity (next time i will have a scale).
I have adjusted humdity down and at day 14 candling all looks well. Air cells may still be slightly small . . . we will see, hopefully this will reapair itself in the next week.
I think most of the 27 eggs are good, but hard to tell in some that have really thick nonporous shells. I see veigning(sp?) in all and movement in almost all.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A REALLY EXCITING MOTHERS DAY!!!!
Who else?
