Ok we have a tractor supply store here and they have a basic incubator on sale for 45. No turner or fan. Im going to go get it tomorrow to use for lockdown. Is it ok that it doesnt have a fan?

yes It's ok that it doesn't have a fan

Sorry now my email isnt notifying me. Hmm.
Ok so i bought another incubator. I have it ready to go for lockdown.
I checked the egg due on Friday last night. He is pushing like crazy in there! The yellow in the egg has not changed, still 5-7 %

. Again, i thought id have an internal pip this morning, but no. Still just pushing hard. Should i still leave him in the bator with the other eggs for now? That bator is still at 16% humidity. Thanks!

I think he may have internally pipped a little. I can see something in the air cell but it sorta keeps going in and out. If i hold the egg up to my ear i can hear tapping though.

Sounds like it's internally pipped for sure then!

 

[Inga123]

Whoo hoo! I hope so!!!

K i moved him to the other incubator since im sure he has internally pipped. Ive heard him peep twice and he is tapping away

i have the humidity between 55-60. I hope thats ok!?!?

I think it should be! Good luck and keep us updated, ok? ^-^

Update: so at around 2 a.m. i did a safety hole cuz i was really worried id fall asleep and he would run out of air. I did it super super tiny. Still no change though. I can see the membrane pushing against the safety hole up and down and i hear a little peep occasionally. So i guess he is fine and its just a waiting game now, right? Although, i did think there would be at least a little change by this morning

. But, he is moving and i know he is getting air now. Im more concerned about my humidity and what it should be at this point.
