They cost me less than $2 ea. if I remember correctly. They are just cheap aquarium thermometers at Walmart. Accurate, (if you pick up a handful and get the ones that agree) but not super durable.

What day?

Interesting...... I wouldn't ever run 20%, that is crazy low..... And I have never raised the floor of the incubator either, I just raised the thermometers... I didn't read the learning centre article for "low humidity incubation". Strange, very strange! I'm glad you found something that...

I don't know if you were told how to already, but you will want to calibrate before your next batch. If it is 99, that is too low for still air when measured at the correct level. If you have already been told how to calibrate I won't re-post the info...... It made me so much more confident to...

You're welcome..... The first time I thought I saw movement in a day 7 egg, I told myself I was crazy! Then I did some digging and found out they can move day 7..... I was quite shocked. Its amazing how fast they grow.

I've had good success w/ low humidity incubation, but dry for me is 25% and I usually hatch EE eggs which need lower humidity. So I agree, do be careful, but I still think 50% is a bit much for styros...... I agree with the rest though! :thumbsup

One correction.... Embryos can move by day 7. :)

Okay then, good luck. :thumbsup -Banti

What percent is your hygrometer reading? -Banti

You shouldn't be using vent plugs to control humidity.... If humidity gets below 65%, add a damp rag or a dish of water with papertowels in it to prevent drowning. Ventilation is very important..... Most experienced hatchers will tell you to throw them (the vent plugs) away. Good luck! -Banti

I'd take both out.... They need oxygen, especially during lockdown & hatch. -Banti

Ended up with a 91% hatch... Here are pics!

7 chicks,1 pip now! :yesss:

7 chicks out and 1 pip! :yiipchick

Yep, I just put in a dish of water with papertowels to prevent drowning in it! :fl :fl Will do.... All 11 eggs made it to lockdown! So I really hope I have a good hatch. :fl

Today is actually only day 18, but these are bantams. I was not expecting this, so humidity is only at 47%. I hope they are OK..... :fl

Anddd we have 2 pips!! :yiipchick

Just did a day 14 candle, I set 12 eggs and 11 look great. The remaining 1 was a clear. No quitters! :yesss: -Banti

Oh boy, yeah, that would do it! I did that! -Banti

What made you think they drowned? Just curious..... I don't want to drown mine. :fl
