Hey Everyone,
My first clutch ever is due to pip anytime in the next few days. Since this is my first time I want to double-check everything and make sure I'm all set. I've got all the eggs in a 6 qt tub and had maintained 88.8-89.5 temps (in the tub) and 99% humidity throughout the process. I had used press and seal to keep the humidity as high as possible, and burped once a week. Now that they're due to pip I've been a little more concerned about making sure there is enough air so I've removed the press and seal. My temps are still good but my humidity is around 94% now. Is this high enough for them to stay healthy throughout the rest of the process. I plan to start burping every 1-2 days now until they pip and then switching the lid to one with holes in it to allow for a little more air flow. Since I removed the press and seal I decided to put an open water source to bring the ambient humidity in the incubator up as well. The ambient is now around 88%.
Any suggestions, thoughts, tips?
Thanks!
