In the few years I have been hatching I just had my worst hatch ever.
It was in the -20's when I collected some of the eggs so I am sure that didn't help.
I also set a second batch one week into the hatch.
When I candled I threw at least half of the eggs out.
Then when I moved them down to hatch the bottom tray was quite full.
About half of them hatched the other half made it to just before they pipped.
Now my question is, what is going to happen to this next hatch, I raised the humidity to 60% for the three days of the hatch?
How do you big time hatchers do this, with out using a hatcher?
