poachedegg Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Woke up like a bolt this morning, when I realised I had forgotten to check the water in the little trough after day 3, we are now coming into day 8 (this afternoon) - have I ruined the hatch?

Egluntyne Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I shouldn't think so. Many people hatch 'dry' and only add water for the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Phew! Thank you for the reassurance, have now written on the white board in the kitchen when to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwickens Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'm far from being an expert, but in my recent experience I let the humidity get a little low, and far too low on one occasion, and still had good hatch rates. From what I have read and seen I'm sure it'll be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Will be ok. Only time to worry is around day 18 ready for hatch day. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thanks guys, am really reassured now - will top up every 3 days on one side and both sides from day 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
