    Looking for fowl pox/rooster advice.

    How to lower humidity in sailnovo

    Unfortunately that's not really an option my preferred incubator is my nurture right 360 -which is currently full of the more viable eggs-however the sailnovo was just a cheap incubator to put some slightly older Shetland eggs in that somebody gifted me that I really didn't want to pass on hatching.
