Rcom pro 10 plus humidity question please

[jomay]

Hi I am having some bad luck hatching this year using my Rcom 10 pro plus. Im down to day one this time and one has hatched early (24 hrs)and one has pipped but nothing has happened for 12 hours. This happened last time and one chic died and 3 others died before hatching. Screen says it 65% humidity but the humidity icon on screen is off. Ive never taken notice of that icon before and its only now im not sure if it should be on.
I have the plus version so have a pump.
Not sure what im doing wrong??
can anyone advice me please

The light goes off when the humidity level hits what you've set it to. It goes on if the humidity drops.

Thanks for that. I was wondering that but didn't say in manual.
Ive been worried the humidity has been wrong and thats why some of my last lot died just before hatching

Do you have other thermometers that you checked it with before you put eggs in? If not you definitely need to do that before you incubate eggs again.

How long should I wait after the first pip and nothings happening?

 

[BirdsBeesTrees]

Sometimes they pip but they aren't done absorbing the yolk. Most people on here say wait to intervene until 24 hours after pipping.

Should I take out a dry chic who is running all the other eggs that are starting to pip?

The only way to adjust humidity correctly during incubation is to observe the aircell progression or lack thereof.

I'd take it out.
