Good news on your shipped eggs. Sorry your roo wasn't getting the job done.
Taking the plugs out on day 10 is right.

Here is some links to info on oxygen and ventilation.

VENTILATION (OXYGEN)

Hatching at High Altitudes post #37908
O2 deprivation to day 10 of incubation followed by regular oxygen concentrations leads to stronger chicks post #33815
NEVER USE VENT holes as a means to Control HUMIDITY especially during HATCH DAYS!

Thanks Mike! I didn't really expect my hens' eggs to be fertile cause the cockerel only just started mating the hens a week or so before I sold him. I just thought I'd give it a try. Someday I will hatch out eggs from my own hens but it probably won't be for a few more years.

My humidity level was at 45 this morning, I got it back up quickly though. The air cells are these eggs were pretty small to start with, can't wait to see what they look like on day 7.

So cute... It is sad how many get euthanized in shelters just because of the eye color. It makes me feel a bit better whenever I can save one though!

If the last egg doesn't hatch, I will have a 90.9090909091% hatch rate!


Not bad!



Edit: of fertile eggs, not counting the infertile one....
