When I set the Brinsea to 40%, my hygrometer said 35%. Leaving it without water here does not work. We are too dry here. These Brinseas are a breeze to use!

Thank you Jess

I thought we would be too dry also but maybe the rain and snow is making it more humid. The aircells on my eggs are right where we should be and I think the weight of the eggs is right on as well. So far, loving the brinsea but this is my first hatch in it so time will tell for sure.

I just put them in lock-down. I am so afraid they are not going to hatch. No movement in 25 eggs. Nada, none, zero.

What do you mean, there was no movement seen when you candled?

If the eggs are dark all the way though except the top, you're fine. You probably won't see movement.

Yup, i candled and nobody seemed to be at home !?!?! Nothing going on, no feet flopping no beaks at the aircell. I am just going to proceed as planned, hope that I just dont know what i am doing, since i dont, and have chicks start hatching out on Monday.

Calm down! Like SCG said, if you saw and air cell in the fat end, and some clear area in the small end, you are likely getting chicks. The eggs are dark colored and thick shelled and you would have a hard time seeing much. I candled some of mine today and there were several that I didn't see move, but I'm not worried. Sit on your hands and TRY to be patient!

I had just candled my daughters silkie eggs yesterday, day 7 and those suckers were black eyeballs floating and flipping around everywhere, and then today, I look at these dark shell eggs, and there is the aircell, dark, yup, i will have chicks hatch Monday, I will have chicks hatch Monday.....

Don't feel bad. I almost never see movement at the end. They are really folded in there good, you won't see them clawing to get out so to speak until it's time to hatch. Gross picture, but it illustrates a point... They stay like this until it's time to pip.
