    Ancona duckling hatching

    This is my second hatching so I'm still new to hatching. My first hatch I started incubating 30 eggs but only 13 hatched. This time I had 42 eggs I started with and when I went into lockdown I showed 34 with life. During my first hatch it was three days after lockdown I had my first pip and...

    little giant 9300

    Thanks for the replies. I was trying to hatch some Easter Egger eggs. At the time of collecting it was cold and I don't think many of them were fertile. Right now I am incubating 28 duck eggs and 9 chicken eggs (brown no green). My humidity has not gotten above 40, and I have these in a...

    little giant 9300

    Hello everyone I'm new to the whole hatching world and bought a little giant incubator from a girl at a yard sale. I bought a new hygrometer to make sure my incubator digital screen was reading correctly, which it wasn't...yikes! So my incubator was set and held a temp of 100 and my humidity...

    My Yes it is a factor. But I dry incubate. As long as it doesn't go below a20 percent I don't fret about it. If it does I add just like a tablespoon of water. I also try to keep it below 40 if I can. I have drowned a lot of chicks by using the manual. Humidity is a trial and error process...

    B but what about humidity? Isn't that a factor in incubation?

    Thanks, I just did my first incubation and it didn't turn out good but those eggs were from another rooster I had before and it was pointed out that I didn't have my temp high enough. I appreciate the link and your response

    Thanks for the reply. I have people interested in both male/female chicks they were not ready for my grown rooster. I didn't even think about the days lengthening so I appreciate you pointing that out to me. This is why I love and appreciate Backyard I can post things and getting opinions to...

    Two different breed of Roos

    I have only had the rooster for a little over a month. The previous rooster I had kept trying to attack my little one so I had a friend take him to ensure he didn't wind up on someone's table. All but 8 of my hens were raised from chicks. When I got my roo they said he was around 10 months...

    Mine has the egg turner so I don't have to worry about turning the eggs. So you are suggesting that I make the temp 101 until hatch and keep humidity level same as I have been doing?

    Two different breed of Roos

    Okay thanks, he is a young roo but I just had a bunch of eggs I collected and incubated but none of them turned out fertile. So it's been a few things adding up making me consider another roo in the flock. I definitely don't want any fighting but would like the reassurance of knowing my eggs...
