The response that I’ve gotten is 60%. That is what I’m going to try with the eggs that are going in the incubator this afternoon. My last hatch was super poor and I followed the paperwork with the incubator. It recommended 70-75%. I got 5 chicks out of 22. Not blaming the humidity completely but...
Hello!Welp, it's time to start up a thread for those of us that have babies hatching in April! All hatchers and all birds are welcome.
Easter babies: please enter your hatches in the 11th annual Easter Hatch A Long 2020! Participants here have eggs that are not hatching close enough to Easter to count for that event, but ALL April babies are welcome so feel free to chat about your Easter babies with us as well!

I set 8 cayuga duck eggs on 3/13, due 4/10-4/11 (entered in EHAL). They are too early to really candle yet, so. They are shipped eggs from Fat Hen Farms and they were packed very nicely, but the air cells are definitely wonky. I will be trying to handle them as little as possible.
There will definitely be more eggs set to hatch from me in April! But at present my bators are full to the gills. There are 8 chicken eggs (barnyard mix, my own flock) due on 3/31, so they might make an appearance here as well.
Happy hatching!
Welcome! Feel free to join the May hatch along as well!Hello!
I have 4 dozen eggs in the incubator! On day 8. Can't wait till they hatch!
all my chicks are sold except 4. I have a new coop coming that fits 20+ chickens 
I'm using it for overflow until I sell them, keep them, or butcher them.
I like to keep mine at whatever I incubated at (varies a bit, but 30-40) until about day 20, then I bump up to 70ish, which is what my Ayam Cemani savages seem to need to not have an assisted hatch.
