3 eggs didn't developed - was a short temp jump on the 12th day (don't know why). ![]() Next time will adjust the temp higher (101F instead of 99.5F) and humidity to 50% (to 60% for the last 3 days) and will do the float test for late hatching eggs and maybe will move eggs around during turning to equalize their temperature.Ģnd try: got 5 chicks out of 8 eggs. So, the incubator IS working, just need to learn how to properly use it (getting right temp and humidity). The egg nearby had underdeveloped chick - got in colder spot, probably. Noticed that 2 eggs on which was thermostat probe end got fully developed chicks inside (unfortunately didn't hatch due to my mistakes). I got 2 eggs which embryos died on a first stage of development (maybe I kept them too long before incubation.)ġ egg had almost fully developed chick but it was dead.ġ egg has a peep on it but no sounds or moving - didn't hatch - might be due to low humidity (let it fall till 40% but should be 60% while hatching)ġ egg I began to brake where it has its air chamber but noticed moving in it and placed back in the incubator - the chick died. Unfortunately intervened at the day 23 and lost all of my first hatch (began to open the eggs thinking that they are dead and maybe getting spoiled - needed to do a float test instead). The temperature needed to be adjust 1 degree higher - got late hatchers (23+ days). The humidity meter is not reliable - needed to put another one into incubator. ![]() ![]() Put a dishtowel under the eggs and made sort of a nest around them - helps to prevent them to roll away from their spot when you turning them. (Be careful to not forget to place it in the same spot after turning the eggs or the temperature can get higher over the eggs cause the thermostat got in a cold spot and warming it up.) Holds its temperature but have different one in different spots, so I put 5 eggs as a ring in the middle of it ant put thermostat probe on them.
