Ahhhh! Im confused! Some say to leave some say to take out. I dont know what i should do....

Maybe just remove one?

Yes, I am thinking if I remember correctly that when I hatched in 2013,,2014 and 2015 I did as the incubator manual for my Farm Innovators says and left the plugs in until lock down. I don't remember if I only removed one or two at lockdown.... I am on day 15 of incubator #1 and have not had the plugs out other than momentarily when my temps got above where I wanted them. So reading to leave them out completely now I am second guessing myself though all of the eggs when candled look on schedule.

Curious how the hatch went. I was interested in finding out more about these red vents, but now I'm caught up in the excitement of the hatch. Should have happened a couple weeks ago. So...?

I'm using farm innovations 4250 with fan and egg turner. On day 18 and I left my plugs in throughout so far. If my humidity is too high tomorrow, I'll take out one plug. My directions say to take them both out when hatching is done. Idk. We will see what happens!

It's day 19 and humidity is fine but we have four pips and one we can see her egg tooth. Taking out one red plug so they get more oxygen!
