Staggered hatch one incubator humidity advice needed

[igorsMistress]

One early cull...the last egg the little one needed help out because it pipped too high on the egg and had a small opening it couldn't fit through. Too tight a fit to move its beak down and make a bigger hole. It had mobility issues, still very lethargic, funky feet and couldn't stand up to walk well.

The 25th is your next segment of the hatch, isn't it?

Yes'm next Sunday. 3 more eggs and they are all good so far.

Bummer, but good call.

Good, 2 of those are the Dork X, right? My shipped egg's are also due to hatch on that same day, but I'm down to 10 of those now.

Really?! How frustrating.

Yes there are 2 Dorking X eggs and one more from your flock. They all showed movement last night. I got a pic of what the Dork X look like when they grow up some, pretty birds!

Even if it's only 10 of these shipped eggs that hatch, it's still better than my last shipped egg's that nothing hatched from them at all!

Those Dork X one's should be able to help you to breed bigger meat-bird's with your NN's.

Today is day 14 for these eggs. The black lines are the current air cells, 2 are saddled. I've had these in shipped eggs before and they hatched. Little bit concerned about the size of the air cell on the "o" egg so I've turned the humidity down to 45%

I have my humidity at about 40%. At lock-down, I will increase it to 60%.

Edit: A couple of my shipped one's have the saddle's.

Yea I'm thinking I'll drop it to 40. I've been slowly bringing it down since last night.
