I'm on day 21 and 17 of 44 are out (started midday yesterday). The hatching has slowed....
There are 7 that pipped in the night that haven't come out yet.
My humidity keeps going up to 77-85% with the hatching so I have been letting some out (each time when I move pairs to brooder).
I'm trying to keep it at about 62-70. I have no Maran eggs this time. Mostly EE, and some bought speckled Sussex eggs.
Is it a 12 hour rule (chick should be out 12 hours after pip)- max?
I do not want to end up with 20 full grown chicks in their shells.
I only cancelled the lightest eggs, too hard to see thru some of my blues.
Should I start scratching and chipping at egg shells?
