Egg dehydration question
I have some eggs that have been in the incubator now for about a month, for the first 2 weeks I had a real problem getting the humidity up and so it was only at about 48% to 55%, it is now running at 68%, as a result of this the eggs dried out a bit, the fertile ones look ok at the moment but have a bubble at the top, will they be ok? can I do anything to help?

Do you have any pics of what yours looked like with the bubble? Also I have 2 odd things happening, 1 looks like a possible twin and another that has looked infertile all this time has suddenly started to develop but only a few days ago, so about a month later than the rest, strange!? |

The only thing to worry about with humidity, is that if its to low than hatchling could hatch early and have a large yolk sack.
