Hi!

I have 12 Mille Fleur d'Uccle eggs in the bator (Brinsea Mini II Advance) right now. I didn't have a hygrometer, but people in East Texas and Florida ran theirs dry until lockdown and had a fine hatch. Naively, I assumed that I'd be fine in SE Louisiana. My house's RH was ~50%. I put the hygrometer in earlier (it arrived today) and it's stabilized at 28% RH. I've added water to the incubator.

Will the low RH for the first 4 days affect development? Candling isn't looking promising as of now.

TIA!
 
no 28 percent will not effect.
I candle after day 7. More viening to see. To me my opinion candling earlier is just to hard to tell for me, I don't use the darkest room. NO viening after 7 days I toss. Questionable I put it back it. Mark some of my air cells so I can watch air cell progress. I will put a little mark on the questionable egg for further study.
I run low humidity first few days. Then I go up to about 40 percent and watch the air cell.
Some people do whats called dry hatching here.
I am not the most experienced. prolly about 8 to 9 hatches now. Keep learning every time.
Good Luck
