Help!
I set my two incubators on late evening Monday 8th of June. Little did I know that I would be travelling from June 19 to June 26. This means that I need to leave the lockdown procedure to my anti-chicken husband. Luckily he loves his wife, and might make an effort to follow my instructions
I have had lots of trouble with my old incubator (Brinsea Mini Advance), and I am not familiar with my new one (Brinsea Octagon Advance Ex). So, here are my questions:
- Is lockdown 26th or 27th of June? (or 28th? I am a bit confused)
- Is it safest to opt for 75% humidity from lockdown? (My eggs in the Octagon have lost a bit too much weight at the moment - I have increased humidity)
- Should he remove the black padding/foam thing at the bottom of the Octagon?
- Should he remove the separators? They are stacked pretty tight now..
- Should he lay the eggs down on their side? They are standing with the wide end upwards now.
Very grateful for any help here!!!
