Urgent!

[lshytle]

I just got home and noticed that my humidity was a little low. (Today's hatch day) So, I looked at all my eggs and saw no pips so I opened it up and just as I was about to spray, I saw an egg with a little crack. I quickly misted the incubator, shut it, and adjusted it back to the normal temperature. What else should I do?

Relax, a broody mamma is nowhere near as exact as a incubator and they do just fine hatching. If they start pipping and the membrane looks dried out because of the low humidity just wet it with a damp paper towel. Sometimes they are a little late as well (2-3 days), I wouldn't count them out just because they didn't hatch today.

Mine took several days to hatch. In the end my humidity was to low and we had to help them hatch. If it comes to that use this thread to do it safely
