    Incubation ?????

    There is water tray's in the bottom of the incubator that you fill with water to keep humidity up, I have a little giant incubator I bought at tractor supply it's similar to this one. I live in a verrrrry dry area so I have to add wet paper towels to my incubator to keep the humidity up.

    You usually take off 5 degrees every week starting off at around 95 degrees. So I would keep them temperature at around 80 degrees.

    Humidity............

    I get paper towels or rags and wet them with warm water and put it on the bottom of the incubator, it always brings the humidity up. I have also experimented with sponges ande they seem to not work very well.

    how long...

    Yes, they can be set tomorrow with a good hatch rate. Just as long as they don't set for more than a week. After that you pretty much loose all fertility.

    First time with shipped eggs! Received today!!!

    As soon as you get your eggs in the mail, bring them in and open the box very carefully. I always wash my hands before touching the eggs so I don't put my germs on them. Sometimes the eggs are packaged in an egg carton, if not make sure you have one so the eggs can "settle" in an egg carton for...
