I've been having problems with my hatches. the first few chicks that hatch are all normaL. but rest all are sticken to their shells or start hatching out and die. I'm using the 1202 sportsman incubator. I only open it up once a day during the hatch. I read a couple things that say it's low humidity or low temp. my thermometer has been accurate tried two different ones read the same. the humidity might be to high because I have condensation on the inside and some dripping out on the bottom. but all the things thta i've read indacate low h. or over all low temp. any suggestions?

do you have a hygrometer or a wet bulb thermometer? It could still be too low if you don't know what the humidity realy is.
