    Removing press n seal

    For those of you that use press n seal on your tubs in your incubator, on what day or at what stage do you remove the press n seal?

    I usually remove it around 2 weeks(10-14 days) prior to hatching. I have removed it earlier but I use substrate-less incubation so humidity stills stays high.

    I use "substrateless" (just water & diffuser that has 4 legs). On day 50 I transfer them to a tub with just moist paper towel.

    Once i see the eggs start to dimple. I will remove the press n seal. Most of the time that is a week or two before they are due to hatch.
