Ok sweet thanks guys!

So we are doing a hatch with a bunch of Bantam eggs and they are TINY!!! I was wondering if i should go into lockdown a few days early because they might develope faster and hatch sooner?

Is 62% Humidity high enough for lockdown??? Please answer quick!

Ok so i am on day 18 and i just realized that i was supposed to have the vent plug open the whole time (this is my first time) but i have been hand turning them all so i have to open it 3 times a day so that lets fresh oxygen in, and when we candled them uesterday we could see some of the...

Is there a good website that shows what the air cell should look like at each day?

Thanks guy's those are both good sites! And also i was wondering when would be a good time to weed out the eggs that arnt fertile?

Does anyone have a good website or something that shows what the eggs should look like everyday during the incubation? That would be awesome!

So i should just let the humidy go all the way down to like 30-40%? Does it matter that i started them at like 50-60%? Or higher? Isnt that bad for the eggs though? Dont they dry out to much?

Well the humidity was at a steady 62% the whole first night, and then it went down to like %30 or something so i added a bit of water and how its backup at like 63%! And i took out as much water as i could! It doesnt even seem like there is any left! I put a little container of rice in there to...

We are only on day 2 of our first hatch and for the life of me i cant keep the humidity stable!! I put a little bit of water in and it gets to high, and i take some out and it barely does anything! Any suggestions for getting and keeping a steady humidity!??

No there's nothing in it that would make it high? Barely any water even!

So we just put 38 eggs in last night and the humidity has been pretty steady at about 62% that seems a little high to me but i am not sure? And how can i get it to go down? The vents open and theres little to no water in it!

So i had my incubator all set up, the temp was right and the humidity was right, and we put 38 eggs, we noticed that the temp dropped quite a bit while we had the lid open, but we realize that its going to take a little bit of time to turn them all everytime! How long can the temp and humidity...

Ok so anywhere between 37-38 should be good! Sweet! And how do you check a thermometer thats brand new? We just bought one today and i have no idea if its accurate or not?

Ok thanks, yeah i have it in my room and i have a sheet over my window and the temp doesnt change to much, so it should be fine. And i was wondering the thermometers the we just got doesnt go down into decimal points, and the book i have says it needs to be at 37.5-37.6c how am i supposed to get...
