    Humidity temperature for hatching eggs?

    should the temperature change between the 18 days to lockdown? I've heard 38c for 18 days and 37.5c for lockdown. (100f and 99.5f)

    Humidity temperature for hatching eggs?

    At first I thought I knew everything about incubating eggs, but it seems that the more I read the more I am confused? Some people say to put the humidity as low as 40, and others say no less then 55. I even see people putting it as high as 70 for the first few days! So which one is it??? Is 50...

    Unbelievably low prices? Is there a catch?

    Ah well, I've already bought it, I'll just have to wait and see. Good idea for a broody hen though. Might try that.

    Unbelievably low prices? Is there a catch?

    So I'm on a budget, and I've chosen to buy a cheap chinese incubator from eBay. Is there such thing as too low? I bought this one specifically (The 56 version) https://www.ebay.com/itm/203461514242 for only about $16. There's also this one, it's cheaper, but I've noticed a pattern with the ones...

    what time of day do I enter lockdown on day 18?

    I know I already made a post today but I was wondering, when on day 18 should I do lockdown? should it be the time I put them in? Like if I put it at 1:00 pm do I do lockdown at 1:00 at day 18? Specifically is there a number of hours until lockdown? (Since 18 days is 432, should I do it 432...

    Can you hold a hatching egg out of lockdown?

    Alright so to expand on my question, I've seen a YouTuber that goes by the name of "A Chick Called Albert" and he holds his eggs out of the incubator to hatch near him as seen in some videos. He has even had chicks hatching right out of the egg right on his hand! Is that safe? He seems like an...

    What coop is this? Where can I get it?

    like what mellowmalt said above, I think the coop I mentioned (the new one) is fine for my two bantams. Less than eight square feet is a lot more than the required two! (if mellow's calculations are correct) For the run, I will let them outside during the day on most days so I think it will be...
