September Hatch-a-long!

[igorsMistress]

I averaged my humidity in my incubator over the last 10 days, it's been 35 %
I candled the eggs, we started with 33 and have 28 left, I pulled 3 more today. 4 of the 28 I can't see into at all but the rest look good. I'm upping the humidity for the next few days, although lockdown isn't until Friday. The air cells seem a little bigger than they should be yet.

I had the same issue, and the eggs were losing more than the 0.66% weight/day. I had to increase the humidity to ~45% to slow them down.

I just got home from work, my lonely brown egg pipped!! Day 20, I expected this to happen tomorrow? When I got home the humidity was 60%, I added water and now it's at 67%, 98.5F.... I dont know how long ago she pipped, I'm nervous that with 60% humidity she may be dried out in there...

So, shes zipping, and chirping like crazy... the humidity jumped from 67% to 74% while she zipped, the inner membrane is broken and you can see her moving,
Should I be worried about the humidity going too high??

She's almost out, humidity is at 80% ? I don't want her shrink wrapped... figure I'll wait till shes out, then open it a smidge to lower the humidity back to 65-70%?

 

[Raptorchick]

Shes out !

And I was all worried ... this minu brinsea is very small for her lol...

Thanks this girl is an outlier, she came with a batch of blue eggs I had shipped but all except hers arrived messed up, my next batch is due in a week...
If humidity reads 99% and shes doing laps around the incubator, is high humidity ok ?? When my seramas hatched they had a big incubator and I dont remember the humidity hitting 90%, I'm scared

That humidity is way too high! Get it back down to 60%.

Shoot I thought so !! Opened it, put a washcloth in the edge so theres a small gap, reads 74% now ?
