Hi, my incubator had a hatch rate of 20% because i added too much water at the last 2 days. The Water surface touched the eggs. the eggs sucked the water, the chicks died inside. now I added two fans to my incubator, i am able to keep the temperature either between 1 (36-37.5) or...
I am not using a fan, it is a still air incubator. and the temperature is 37.5-38. I have a humidity meter, it is between 45-55% almost at all time ( taking into consideration that i live in a place that humidity now is 55-60% outside ). the air cells has grown ( not bad size ), i want to make...

Yes my incubator is not the cabinet. It is made of lastic. I candle today the eggs (day 2) the air sac is found. It is small i think it will enlarge with days.
Amy, you recognized before something about table or closet.... Didnt get it well. My incubator is handmade and i placed it in the closet. What that what u was refering to?
Will do. Will let you know the results at day 7. ..... By the way... I tried Rice, it dies work but for only 5 minutes, cause it is getting warmer and releasing the humidity .... But it can be manipulated in a way, will figure it out. Thank you Amy, ur my incubator hero
thank you Amy for ur reply. Yes I was planning to candle my eggs on day 7. So no water will be added in my case until day 18. Do you think I should bring my humidity low as to 40-45%? Thank very again, appreciate it.
Hi, I am new to incubation. I did a lot of researches and all till now is going great, in terms of temperature. My issue is that we are now in march. and where I live has almost 45-50% humidity. so humidity reader in my DIY incubator is reading 50%, which I think is good for a range during the...
