Setting Eggs 1/19 - Hatching Buddies

Great video, AlleysFarm! Sounds like everyone's got some good ones. I candled yesterday and pulled 4 infertile and 2 with signs of early death (blood ring) There were a few that I still questioned so will leave them for now. Good luck, everyone!
 
No shipped eggs here, I learned my lesson last year.

Who has shipped eggs and who doesn't? All of my eggs are from my hens.
Shipped silkie eggs...day 10. Candled and tossed 4 that were clear. That leaves me with 9. Movement and veining in all. Terrible air cells...none completly detached, just large and quite a few saddle cells. Keeping them upright and only turning side to side. I think my humidity was a little high the first week (didn't have a hydrometer just followed Brinsea's instructions

) Now that I have one I am keeping it around 40. I have been reading a lot about "dry" incubation....basically no water unless humidity drops below 25-30. Mine has been staying at about 40-45 with no water. Of course I will up it to 65-70 at lockdown. Anyone have any experience with this? I have a Brinsea Mini Advance.
 
My eggs are from my hens. But I am getting some sizzle eggs soon that will be shipped. So excited to finally get a sizzle.
