I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...

I just ordered a Reptipro 6000. I've been reading all the great results from Dry incubating. I want to find someone who has dry incubated in one of these. I have some questions. Like when I first put my eggs in on day 1 do I need to put any water in at all? What should i keep the humidity at? What about the last 3 days? Thank you.

Mike
