I know this has been discussed many times, however, I cannot find anything that tells me how to lower the humidity in my still air incubator right after I put my eggs in. Most of them are answers to lockdown humidity. How do I get my still air incubator to lower humidity? It's at 81% and I...

Also, can I take the other 2 chicks out? I've read that opening and closing the incubator lid is a no-no during hatching. Doesn't it totally mess up the temperature and humidity?

So, I should interfere? Is that the beak sticking out? It wasn't there earlier

I guess that's a beak?

2 of 4 eggs have hatched in incubator but 1 pipped last evening and has started the zip but absolutely no progress today, all day. I see the feathers of the chick but I do not see a beak or anything. Should I be concerned? I'm not a complete newbie, but still learning. Should we interfere yet?

We got some of that netting and placed it around the coop. I learned this from YouTube and it will catch the snakes in it and they cannot get out. Then you have to kill the suckers but that is usually a pleasure when they're after your chickens.

I'd love to!! He's pretty and watches over his hens , but, I don't like them hiding from him.

Thank u!!
