So distilled water getting in there wont drown the baby?
don't kick youself too hard. they should be fine. you want to add water to the egg. make sure to use water that you store in your incubator so it's close to the same temp as the fluid in the egg. I use distilled water. you don't want those eggs drying out. I should say you don't want the yolk drying out. the egg doesn't need to be full to the very top. leave them in the eggs. do not remove them at this point. calm down, they should be pipping soon. I know a breeder who incubated at low temps and his pip around day 70. the hatchlings were all healthy too. good luck, don
