Day 24 float test should i help

[shelby hayden]

I have a pro series digital incubator model that I incubated in and a inaqicfly that is used for the hatching process the humidity during the first 18 days stayed between 50 and 60% heat at 99.5. During the last 4 days the humidity has been 60 to 70% and temp 99.5 100. I candled at 23 days and baby was moving very well I did a water test today and the egg floats at 10% above the water with slit movement.

And I have other eggs but all have diffrent due dates.

Does it have a fan?

 

[shelby hayden]

Yes it is mini incubator.

I would hate for it to be shrink wrapped and I didn't do anything to help and just let it die.

 

[casportpony]

Do you have a second thermometer/hygrometer?

 

[shelby hayden]

Yes I do I knew it wasn't going to be correct just by the one on the bators so I have one I carry around with me and a glass one inside also to compare it to.

This is the hatching one I have Magicfly Digital Mini Semi Automatic Egg Incubator 10 Eggs Poultry Hatcher for Chickens Ducks Goose Birds

So during your float test, the egg actually moved in the water by itself?

When did you last candle the egg? Was the air cell large enough? Humidity that high for me would cause the chick to drown, but does work for some folks. Also, is the air cell drawn down (not just tilted to one side)?

I last candled day 22 and the air cell looked as if it was going down the side of the egg with veins still visible. The egg slightly moved in water test today
