    Eggs getting mouldy
    I am having BIG trouble with my incubator this year, first it wasn't maintaining the set temperature (replaced Honeywell T-stat with herpstat - worked) and now 3 out of 5 eggs start looking mouldy after only three weeks in the incubator.

    What can I do?
    Lower the humidity?

    i believe that is a sign of dead eggs. :(

    Your humidity should be high. there should be some condensation build up.

    What kind of incubator are you using?

    It's a DIY incubator, basically and insulated wooden box with flexwatt between the bottom layers.
    I use sterililte tubs in it that I cover with a glass screen.

    Temps are 31.3 - 31.5°C (88,34 - 88,88°F), humidity is at 90%.

    Substrate is Vermiculite.

    Robb, there are many unanswered questions. However, my first would be, Did you candle the eggs? And, if so, were there any veins in those eggs?
