Should I be worried?

[Myah1011]

I just went into lockdown like an hour ago and took out the tray and raised the humidity to 65% but now that my tray is gone my little temperature checker isn’t saying a steady temp, the temp keeps going up 3-4 then going down 3-4 so I’m scared about my eggs! Should I maybe just put them under my broody duck and just let them hatch like that? Every time it gets higher or lower I change the temp by 1-2 degrees but it just always changes. I guess I got the incubator I paid for..

Maybe don’t change the temp anymore and see if it will settle?

My temp is still fluctuating but like at 37.3-37.8 is this range okay? I know 37.3 is a little cold.

uhhh… I don’t do Celsius After doing some converting, that range sounds perfect. I don’t that 37.3 is too cold. That much fluctuation doesn’t sound worrying to me.

Just checked this morning, still no external pip but they are definitely still trying with all their might. It’s been 24 hours after first seeing the internal pip. Here’s hoping they pip soon!

Yay!! Hatching is one of the most exciting things about chicken keeping.

How is it going?!

The ducklings I was trying to hatch ended up both dying. I’m going to try again soon though.

Oh, I’m sorry. That is always so sad
