I didn't think that air cell looked too big and I could see the chick moving around
I usually run mine around 55-60% for the first 18 days and then I up it to 75-80% for the rest. But yours looks fine.
Mine shot up a lot this past week and won't stabilize at all. I had 3 good hatches about a day early and I then the humidity jumped up to 95% again after I took them out. I think the rest are a lost cause but we'll see. They're pushing 2 days late right now.
Congrats to everyone else on your hatches! I know poor TeePants and Anarchy are just gonna fidget all weekend

Well, by some miracle my chicks survived no power from Irene for days and made it through the fluctuating temps from my lil' candles I put in there to try and maintain temp.. And the humidity up and down like a rollercoaster! I have 5 hatched and several more trying!
Congrats to those who have had success also on this hatch, and condolences to those who didn't. I will say these lil' Silkies are very special to me, I still am in shock that they have made it this far, when everyone just said to throw the eggs out.. Glad I don't listen..
