We go into lockdown tonight, I have 2 quick questions.
#1 - I know humidity needs to go up to 50-60%, but what about the temperature? Does it need to stay the same? 99-100 is where its been hanging at and 46-48% humidity with dry incubation, all vents open. Air sacs sizes all look good.
#2 - I've been using a piece of the rubber grid / woven shelf liner to keep the eggs in place on the floor of the incubator. Can that stay in on lockdown, or does that need to come out?
Down to 16 eggs now. I started with 25, 6 were not fertile, then later 3 got the dreaded blood rings & movement stopped. I'm hoping for the best and that all 16 make it!!
