My first hatch was abysmal.
Started with 31 eggs, 17 made it to final lock down. 11 ayam cemanis from Cackle and 7 assorted from MPC.
7 of the cemanis hatched but 2 died
6 of the MPC hatched but 2 died
Giving me a grand total of 9 living chicks from 31 eggs (incubator: Farm Innovators 4250).
I asked a very successful hatcher her success and she said she does dry incubation. No water until lockdown.
My next batch of eggs are on the way: do I try dry incubation? I also have access to a Nuture Right 360. Do I go all out and dry incubate the whole batch? Or split them between the 2 incubators and dry incubate half? Is there much difference between vertical and horizontal setting?
Lay that wisdom on me... thank you!
