    Dry incubation

    I have no idea if I am placing this in the right spot or if I will ever find my way back to this thread again. However, I was wondering if someone can refresh my memory on how to dry incubate. I am going to try and incubate some eggs again. I did it a few months ago, but I had so many ups and...

    I stayed up all night on the 20th day and all day on the 21. It's amazing how fast some pip and zip compared to others. I can't wait until my next hatching. Now the hard part- what to hatch next! Good luck on your hatching, keep us updated.

    Day 22- little guy is doing better, no more bleeding. I now have 13 chicks. I'll wait another couple days before I rule out the remaining 3. I can't believe all the worrying I did about the little ones on day 20!!! This can become very addicting!!

    Thank. I'm glad you mentioned the humidity going up as they hatch. It makes sense but I would have panicked anyways. I didn't even think of the temp lowering from the motor of the turner, but I guess it could contribute to the temp. If nothing is delayed and everything turns out OK, tomorrow is...

    WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread
