Thanks for the earlier post Greg, here's a follow-up: Some of my het hypo eggs appear sunken in. I'm afraid this could mean they're infertile, going bad, or dehydrating. If they're dehydrating, I'd like to do something about it. But I'm reluctant to mess with the humidity, since others look so good-and-plump.



This is my 1st year using vermiculite rather than peat. Does the climate vary so much within a 6 inch deli cup that some eggs would be dehydrating and not others? I used a 1:1 ratio by weight, but didn't thoroughly mix the hydrated vermiculite, just poured water around the edge and tipped it around some. Any suggestions?



Congratulations on Pink Panthers, Striped Supercondas, and all the other unbelievable hatchings we've seen already in 2010!
