Hi there, I have a Q... I am incubating geese right now and I see some diagrams online about how the air cell gets larger over time as the chick developes. Ok so...
Does the Air Cell continue to grow when a chick dies inside the egg? (at any stage)
I have 2 that are in the hatcher right now. The air cell on one of them grew very large, the bird internally pipped and then seems to have died; never externally pipped.
The other is late but the air cell is smaller and is still growing. Safe to assume this bird is still alive or what?
A couple days ago I had temp spikes and after calibrating my hydrometer found that the humidity has been 5% lower than I thought... and still having problems keeping it up. It runs around 65-70% in the hatcher.
