Oooh boy! External pip in one I didn't think had internally pipped yet. I guess I'd best keep my hands out of the bator now. Only at 60% humidity.

Goooo baby!
Yep, try to keep it closed so the humidity comes back up and stabilizes..

That's as high as I've been able to get the humidity, 60%.

I had trouble with mine too.. do you have a wet sponge in there?

My Anatolian mix dog just brought this to me and literally set it my lap... It's a call egg!

I do, in a dish of water partially under the fan. If I totally close the vent on top I get 67%. But that seems like a bad idea. I'm guessing shelf liner is blocking the warm air hitting the water below.

That's incredible. Apparently you have a real duck loving dog there?

I wondered about that myself. I have shelf liner in mine too...

Usually they eat the eggs they find..
Maybe he feels bad about that..
