It\'s a small cabinet incubator with hatching drawer and since upping humidity for hatching, it isn\'t going DOWN as far on humidity as it did the first 2 rounds.
can\'t get humidity to stay below 50%. I am really not holding out any hope for the hatch due in a week.
funny thing is, the first dud hatch humidity was running pretty low 40\'s and still had the problem and no internal pipping ever. I opened those eggs at the airhole and the sac was intact, but I agree there was still too much liquid in the sac and it wasn\'t all chick like it should have been.
I really would like to get this right as I now have those blue andalusian eggs started from Judge Tim Bowles for the blue lacing project. Shipped eggs, though and air cells don\'t look too good.
Only have one flock with the two roos and when I open the eggs they all show the bulls eye of fertility.
Still building at the farm and the coops aren\'t the priority there as I have to get the chutes built for handling the alpacas for shearing the 15th.
Chickens are supposed to be the FUN part here and still no Spring Chicks. I\'m looking into a hatcher to build to help with the humidity for hatching and dry out the bator. Thanks. It does sound like high humidity and possibly up the protein.
