Is that a typo? Fat end should be up.

Humidity seems a bit high for the incubation period. I'd drop it to around 55. Put it up to 70-ish for the last three days. Fpr days 0 - 25 the main thing is to adjust the humidity to get the air cell right (put humidity up if air cell developing too quickly and put humidity down if air cell developing too slowly).

fat end up??? I better take a picture and let you see if they are in there right then. BRB​

I was just AFK... enjoying the hot tub before bed. Loved the squirrels.
Do you have any relaxing music you can listen to? That is what I do sometimes to help me sleep.... or I play the lord of the rings movie and I usually fall asleep before frodo leaves the shire

And THAT!




Ps. I knew they were squirrels, not chipmunks. I did too!!!

Great - they look good!

Some people set them totally differently - almost upright. That is fine as long as the fat end is up. Yours are 100% fine

I think that lying down is best (more natural). Tilting them so the small end is a bit down is a good thing to do.

That's just how they sit in there. I don't pick them up to move tbem either. I kinda do like a moma duck would. I gentley just roll them around together and then place them out making sure they are not on the same row. Just like a momma duck does. For a while I had them all bunched together like a nest but it get to be too hard too track where they belonged next rollover.

But why are they dying on me.
