    I have one inside with the eggs. It tells temp and humidity. But the instructions said temp should be 99.5 to 100 degrees F. Some things I've read say that's too low, that the chicks will develop too slowly. What do u think? My temp has been 100.5 and 63% humidity. Is that good? Too low? Too...

    First time incubating! All advice is greatly appreciated!!

    I set 14 eggs in my bator this morning at 5:30!!! I'm SUPER nervous! I ordered 9 Lavender Orphington eggs and 5 Olive Egger eggs and I let them settle a few days. This is my first hatch ever! I always buy babies. I would appreciate all advice about incubating!! Thanks! Dana

    What's the difference?

    Thanks! I got confused when I googled "Light Sussex" and the exact image that was used as the breed photo of Columbian Wyandotte on the hatchery website came up. So I started looking and they are very similar just looking at the pictures! Thank you!
