    LOL.. my whole incubator is smaller than most of your guys egg tubs!
    I never had to add any water, there was no place for it to go.
    The sides (and glass front were constantly covered in humidity.

    OMG I think its a miracle! I dropped a couple drops of water in each egg and im vertain there was movement in at least 4 of them! INCLUDING that little PREMIE CINNY that I presumed had passed!!!
    OHH. I am praying that little guy is tough, and can make it!.

    I am on an hourly watch since today is day 65! AND i DID SEE MOVEMENT!

    camera is ready just in case a miracle happens.

    If you have been opening the bator alot could be drying them out. also the temp would be lower for awhile. I bet they come out fine for you.

    Oh, that would be so AWESOME if they made it, crossing fingers and toes here :):):)

    I would keep adding water, the eggs on top and that open one look very very dry. Also, I would cut each egg a bit, they might be to tough for the hatchlings to cut through themselves...

    Good luck :)

    That's great! Just don't let the insides of the eggs dry out and your babies should be okay. :) It may take them a little longer to absorb their yolk and leave their eggs but patience pays off.

    Mine took a long time too. We cut at day 60 and they didn't come out until a week later. And, we didn't see much movement either. Just keep adding lukewarm water. I put a bottle of saline solution I had inside the bator and used that to add water into the eggs everyday. You can just put a small bottle of water in your bator if you can fit it and use that water to put a little bit in each egg daily.

    Good luck! We're pulling for ya!
