....and here I thought at least one of the vents had to be open so they would get air in lockdown???

Well, I have fuzzy butts running everywhere in the bottom of the incubator.. I'll get the dry ones out in a bit, get a count and post some pics. but they are still hatching!

Well....yes...and then I read the instructions with my incubator and it says remove both red vents...increases air flow because they need it to hatch. And it says to increase the humidity at the same time.

Now that is what my instructions say and what I did.

Anyone else???
