    Hope for these eggs?

    So these were laid June 9th and to me they aren't looking so hot. I have to once a day wipe the lid of all the water or it will drip on the eggs. I'm thinking I maybe need a small computer fan to circulate the air? I dont know but the dimpling is scaring me...

    IDK... they look pretty good to me...

    Your substrate may be too wet which can in turn lead to mold and kill the the eggs. I lost my first clutch due to this. I would put them on light diffuser and they your substrate can be soaked and you will still be fine. I would also add a small fan to circulate the air and a bunch of water bottles since it seems you do not have any in your pic. The water bottles will help stabilize the temps and reduce any hot spots. Have your temps been fluctuating much.

    Just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't dimple more. If they do just increase the humidity, but based on the looks of the tub I think your humidity is fine

    They look fine!! If your are worried about too much humidity take some of your substrate out of a corner and replace with some that is dry....

    Re: Hope for these eggs?

    they look ok so far to me. the condensation is cause by a difference in temps. from the inside of the egg box to the area surrounding it. (inside of the incubator). check the seal or how the incubator door is sealed. could be letting a little cold air in will cause this.

    could be that you're checking them too much and you're letting in the colder air. place some water bottles with the lid on inside the incubator. helps maintain temps

    slightly tilt the boxs so any condensation will go to the side and then down instead of dripping on the eggs.

    use glad press n seal to seal the top of the egg boxs. no holes in it. open about once a week to let in fresh air and to also check on the eggs. last 2 weeks before they pip , peel back a corner to make very small hole to let constant fresh air in.
