Humidity Question

[WinterChicks]

Other than they are known to hatch early, not that I know of.

Okay.

I will have pictures of my 'bator soon

The temp went up to 104 with a 60watt bulb, undid an airhole, went down to 102

Humidity betttween 40-55.
Is it okay if the humidity fluctuates a bit between those numbers?

when the bantams are born and in the brooder, for our silkies, we always crumble up the crumbles even more as they are so tiny compared to your regular baby birds. ALSO, please put small stones, or marbles in the waterer so they do not get inside it and get to wet or even worse drown! You can also get the jar waterer with the small rim, but please be very careful of that.

That's a good range for humidity. Just keep your eyes on the air cells double check for accurate growth and you'll know for sure if your humidity needs to be altered.

Thanks for the notes on the crumbles.
