Get yourself a relative humidity gauge to measure humidity in the incubator. you can buy them at any hardware store or Wal Mart. This way you will know if you have to add or remove water. To keep mine between 30-35% I just have a very...

After pipping my eggs take on average about another 12 hours or so to really start zipping. Now this is just an average i have had some come out in half that time and some twice that much. Just be patient and let them do what they...

My homemade incubator [coolerbator] works best with an average temp setting of 100.3°F and with humidity between 30-35% for the first 18 days. Did you add a fan to circulate the air in yours?   If so the temp should be...

I found where I live that I have the best hatch's with humidity at 30-35% for the first 18 days and then I raise it to 60% for lockdown.I don't go any higher for lock down because once the chicks begin to hatch the humidity will spike...
