I need advice with my first Serama hatch.
I have an r com 20 pro and I was away for the weekend and it stopped turning and raised the humidity as it was meant to with 3 days to go but they haven't pipped yet. Is this a problem? The books say once externally pipped stop turning and raise humidiy, but mine have not so witll this damage their chances?
I was going to change the settings back but thought that would be mucking about too much and they'd been that way for a good few hours.
Help, I need reassurance.

hi.
did you say they hve 3 days to go?
if you did then no worries my chicks (different breed) never started pipping until a day before or sometimes late.
try not to worry and keep my updated :)
hope it helps

It shouldnt be too much of a problem, some people run their incubators dry throughout and are still successful, and this year i mixed up the hatching dates of one of my hatches and only stoped turning the eggs because i noticed one had pipped.

I'm more worried about the humidity I'm worried about. I'm sure they'll be ok.
