Who is getting eggs?

[casportpony]

The humidity is 65% in the incubator The temp is 39.5 C it is the same for peas as it is for guineas. It also has an automatic egg turner. I need to know if there is anything else I need to do for pea eggs?

I'm no expert, but I think 65% is too high for the first 26 days. Maybe someone lse cn comment on this?

I guess it would if I didn't add water, it varies between 55 and 65% with water it depends on how close it is to add more water.

This year I'm going to take better notes and I'm also going to weigh my eggs once a week to make sure they're losing enough weight.

Where can you find this info out? I candled mine last night I was right the ones I picked up during the last cold spell are not developing.You want to get them move, put end with the air sack over the light.

you should see the weight loss at around 2 weeks, if not them you will need to scuff the shell with sand paper to allow the extra moisture to dissipate, that way they have room to reposition before hatch time comes and you won't be dealing with bubble butts

Not saying anyone should do anything different, it just has some interesting info in it.
