So I have been going by the text book. I used to be so good at it once upon a time. My old incubator bit the dust (little giant still air) so I upgraded to the new digital little giant. I also got a Hoovabator still air now. Trying to hatch silkie eggs and paid a lot of money for 30 eggs and only 14 made it.
-I hand turn my eggs with clean hands 3 times a day.
-I try to keep my incubator at 45-60% 99-101degrees
before day 18. Candling them on day 7 and 14.
-lock down at day 18 60-70% 99-101degrees (maybe I should locked them down sooner some started pipping at day 19 silkie eggs)
* I just ordered more eggs they aren’t cheap imma try it again but before I get them I need advice and help.. they aren’t shipped local pickup.
I’ve been reading about a dry hatch vs a wet hatch any advice please help.
