    Classroom Hatching Project

    I'm like a new mom, very nervous. I got a grant from Pinellas Education Foundation for a Hovabator 1588 with the automatic egg turner. I have read and reread but I missed the detail, keep the humidity lower than 55 during the set time. It's been hovering in the mid 50's today. Today is day...
