Well, ross needs to come pick up her chicks... got 2 partridge...

If she dont come get em, I will! gorgeous!

That's the thing trying you don't always succeed but you always try . I know it will be harder to assist in the GQFs they regain heat so slowly . to answer your question WV I think humidity its what I've been thinking all year long . I have been able to maintain temperature but humidity is harder .I knew there was a problem at day 14 . to much fluid and some small air cells . I locked down two days early . and used a whole container of Damp Rid  in the hatcher .the humidity was around 27% and stayed that way. different results though . in the Farm Innovators the damp rid turned to liquid instantly . In the GQF hatcher the pellets stuck together and did not dissolve . no liquid formed in the bottom of the container .  the one thing I'm going to like is the way the fan and heating element control the humidity . with the vents closed without the Damp Rid the humidity stays at around 30% so there wasn't much for the Damp rid to do. I paid a hundred dollars for the FIs they aren't worth fifty cents without being in a controlled environment . ambient temp. 65 to 72 degrees humidity less than 50% constant . and even then I don't trust them.  I'm still working getting ready for the storm . be back much latter.      

I wonder if your old ones didn't seal well. I mean even ambient humidity shouldn't affect them that much! I'm sure you will work it out.

 Hiya darlin'!  Who cares what color the egg is... Little 'lings are too irresistible.   

I know! They are messy little turds but their cuteness makes up for it

Waiting for vacations and holidays to be over so I can incubate... Is that bad?

That's funny. I just set two dozen eggs, and my wife got a new pistol

Nope... it just gives us a great excuse not to stay at the in laws very long...
