Week 3: Mid-Incubation Checkpoints
By week 3, your eggs are well on their way, but this is the stage where small mistakes can cost you. Candling now shows you which eggs are fertile, how the air cells are developing, and whether any need to be removed. Getting humidity right is critical — too high or too low and you’ll see it in the air cell size and hatch results. In this week’s guide, we cover candling tips, troubleshooting mid-incubation problems, and how to fine-tune your incubator settings so you stay on track for a strong hatch.

Success starts before your incubator is even switched on. Learn how freshness, storage, and handling affect hatch rates — and why egg quality matters most.

Hatch failures are frustrating, but every failed hatch is a chance to learn. From egg quality to humidity, discover the most common causes and how to fix them for better results.
