No. One of the ones oozing has a good bit, but stopped. The other one has very little. One looks like it has fir sticking out. Out of 36, 28 have not changed. They seem ok. Maybe the rest are progressing normal. Friday will be 24 days. No matter what, I can only wait. I got the humidity down to 57% by putting one more hole in the cooler. Everything else is where it is suppose to be

Day 22.. all of the ones that were piping earlier have died. Every now and the I see the eggs move so I have hope that they are doing ok.

Day 23 and nothing. One of the eggs was a dull grey. Now it's brown. Yeaterday it looked like it was getting wet on top and then it spread until the whole egg was brown. Humidity is 55%. I didn't think incubating would be this nerve racking. Still excited though about raising the birds.

With the eggs being so thick or dark, is there a good way to candle?

 

[Hud1313]

How long should I give them before giving up?
