THE IMPORTANCE OF FANS and HOW TO ADD ONE to your STYRO! post #58100

Same here I have Tri color anconas Thanks for the advice guys I am going to lower my humidity an put my temp at 99.5

Ok thanks. Whats an air cell

this above image shows how much of the egg should be air cell and how much should be filled with duckling

this is a chicken egg BUT it shows you an aircell





When you incubate make sure the fat end of the egg is UP, the aircell will be in the FAT END
in still air incubators you want the CENTER of the egg to be at 99.5*, which means the top of the egg will be about 100.5*

IMPORTANT** when you remove the turner you are lowering the eggs so therefore the temperature will decrease, THIS IS OK< MANY PEOPLE PREFER TO HATCH AT A DEGREE OR TWO LOWER

DO NOT PLAY WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT THIS POINT

CALIBRATE YOUR HYGRO AND THERMO

you may want to start calling it by the correct name, becuase if you were to start going around asking for help with an air bubble many incubation people would thing that you had bubbles in your air cell, which is very bad
