Of course! Hoping there are some whites in there, so far I see little dark faces in the shells poking out.

Don't post how many I think there's a contest for how many eggs get set or hatch

Pleas add me to the HAL. I will be hatching black australorps. I will post how many when I set them.

35 to 40% for those. You can go a bit lower. 

Hatch at 65 to 70%.

i did not know there were preferred humidities for various breeds of chickens. What about Silkies? Of the not so many chicks I've incubated, the Silkies have tended to have the greatest problem with shrink wrapping, so I wonder. Is there a book or publication that discusses incubation in such detail? Or maybe a thread on BYC? Thanks.

I actually need to cover up some of the air holes on the bottom. I can't get the temp to rise out of the very low 90's.
