I got 9 ginger breasted red old English bantam eggs in the mail. Most air cells were detached to about 1/4 or so down. I ended up with 6 developing to day 16 and one died. So now it's day 19 and 3 put of 5 have their air cells reattached after being upright in cartons (turned 3x a day). My questions are.....
1} What day should I lockdown since they are bantams? (I thought today, day 19)
2} I put the 3 that air cells are reattached on their sides to hatch but should I do the same for the 2 that are still detached or leave them upright in the carton to hatch????
3} how far up do you bump humidity for chicken lockdown? (I've only done ducks for over 8yrs)
4} do they air cells look good for day 19?
Pics...first two pics are the detached air cell ones, they have 3 lines...2nd line is how far the air cell grew and the 3rd and lowest line is how far down the air cell goes. And the first line is just where the air cell was before I set them or I mean more where itwas when it was upright. And the last 3 pics are the normal air cells...2nd, lowest line is how far the cell has grown.
Thank u for any help!!
