My first batch of incubating eggs. 5 out of 14 were fertile and growing. I had 3 different hygrometers in my incubator and all three were different readings: 1 was very low, 1 was very high and one was just right so I have NO IDEA what the actual humidity was during the incubation process. I did lockdown on day 18 and added water to increase humidity even though I don't know if it needed it or not. My concern after reading different posts is that IF the humidity was too high during the 1st 18 days the chicks my "drown" when they do their internal pip into the air sack. How can I determine now at day 21 if they are still alive. I saw 2 of the eggs slightly rocking a few times on day 19 but nothing since. :-(
