OK, I apparently had too small an egg container and my eggs were too dry and began to very slightly dimple. I switched to triple the size container at 1200 cu inches and as much vermiculite as I could while still leaving room for enough air.
I was checking them like every hour (like a freak) and I think I caught it quickly enough.
It is a 6 egg clutch, all fertile. They were only in the smaller box for 4 days and other than the dimpleing they look fine.
How much damage can occur in 4 days of humidity that was too low?
I have hatched a lot of eggs but these are my first BP eggs and of course, my first female to lay was pied from a pied male. I wish it had been the lemon pastel to normal. I am so stressed out!
I am going to get a hygrometer but since I immediately do not have one available I have to go with my observation.
Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Kevin
