looking for some opinions from you guys. Before i set my next batch of eggs. How can I bump up the Hummidity at lockdown. I am adding a turner so I am worried i won't have the room to add all the little containers of water and sponges and paper towels i had to add to get it up to 75%. Spritzing the eggs with water seemed to help. But if i do that i have to open the incubator every day.. Just want to get this down before the eggs come in later this week. Thanks!!
Take the turner out at lockdown to make room for water. Babies can get stuck in the turner even if it's turned off.

Sorry I've been MIA lately. Life has pulled me away from the computer for a bit, but I need some advice, so if anyone has any ideas, please share. I have a BLRW pullet that started laying eggs this month. The first egg had the thinnest shell ever and broke when I picked it up. The rest of her eggs, I've never seen because "someone" keeps eating them. I assume from the thin shell they're breaking easily in the box. Today, I finally got one that doesn't have a thin shell, but is saturated in calcium??? Her eggs are supposed to be light tan, and as you can see it's caked with clumpy white. She's on layer feed. Any ideas?



She's just working the kinks out of the system. Give her a couple weeks & she will have perfect eggs.
