after reading on here about how some people say 60 humidity is too high, i am worried

but when I used this bator (homemade) last year, in both hatches , the humidity as around 55-60 the whole time and I had good hatches........but this time it is bantam eggs and that worries me

...........my nerves are getting the better of me!

I just checked on them and I have 2 more pips!

So that makes 3. The one that pipped this morning isn't zipping yet but I did see a crack coming off the pipped area now so it's working on it.

As far as the humidity. Don't stress about it.

It's been workin for ya so far!

Some people say 60% is high and some people say 60% is low. But a lot of people say 60% is good.

Woke up this morning to peeping noises on day 20! 2 of the 3 pips were hatched and the 3rd was almost done zipping. It's now out as well.

The 3 remaining eggs are the shipped eggs and they don't have a pip yet.

Anything happening with anyone else?
