    To dry hatch or to not?

    Thanks for all the info but I remembered how I usually hatched eggs and I dub it the “lazy method” I remember now I usually only added water if it got to like 20 something maybe even 30 something % and kept it below 50 literally did nothing else if it was above 50 I think I also just ignored it...

    To dry hatch or to not?

    I have a NR 360 and each time I’ve done chicken eggs it’s always been adding water, I live in a humid area and wondered if dry hatching was a safe option or not, I always need refreshed on what the best humidity level is on my incubator and right now it was 37% I just set these eggs on 8/5 I...

    eBay egg arrived with deceased chick inside.

    Update: they responded back to me finally and it sounds like they didn’t believe me one bit about the chick being inside the egg so I dug it back out and took a pic of it as proof I hated doing that but yeah..:hmm They said they’d send me replacements so let’s hope they do such a shame I had to...

    eBay egg arrived with deceased chick inside.

    See that’s what I’m clinging to that it was an oops from perhaps a male sitting on an egg, but others I’ve talked to have said otherwise that there was no easy way to mistake something as this.. I really hope the seller gets back to me and makes things right otherwise I will be calling eBay to...

    Is this normal for humidity to do this?

    Both temp and humidity seem to be at a somewhat stable rate now that I added that cap of water. I know it’s probably not done stabilizing yet but I’ve been keeping an eye on it

    Is this normal for humidity to do this?

    I did add a small cap of water to the incubator so far it’s risen but not much and is in the “safe” range I turned the humdikit off if the cap doesn’t work I’m gonna just do a dry hatch it’s humid enough here as is

    Is this normal for humidity to do this?

    See I thought about adding a small sponge with little water in it instead of the humdikit or just doing a dry hatch

    Is this normal for humidity to do this?

    So I have a govee and I like watching my temperature and humidity with it and I noticed this trend of “spikes” going on.. I have a humidikit and have it set where under 30% humidity it will turn on, when it does the humidity goes up to the 40s and drops back down creating these spikes. Really I...

    Which thermometers should I trust??

    Do the Do the outward pens by thermworks also work good? I see some people recommend the outward one on here I may just get one because either when I was ice testing my incutherm or what but I think water got into it and messed it up even though I had the probe covered. The inkbirds read a...
