Awesome!! Thank you so much! I wish I would had asked these questions before my first hatch.I have just been comparing what I see when candling do different images on the internet. I never knew that there was so much involved in hatching chicks.
If you have accurate instruments, a dependable bator and understand humidity and how to judge it, it's not that bad. Hens just make it look easy...lol Unfortunetly, many first timers don't think about checking the accuracy of thermometers/hygrometers and many buy those LGs that aren't reliable, on top of it they run humidity not best for their eggs and it results in dismal hatches. Once you get that info together, it helps. I'm going to give you the link to a great candling guide here on byc and if you decide to try again with those adjustments you have to let us know how it goes. Sorry the first try was disappointing.
