I’m on my second hatching and I’ve just recently found out about dry hatching. The first set I hatched didn’t do so well so I’m wanting to try something different this time. My second batch are already in the incubator for 4 days now so I’m needing to know if it will harm them if I start the dry...

...incubating it should be between 15-30%. I am dry incubating because I'm in Florida and it is very humid. Humidity in this range is fine for dry hatching right? I've been reading just to check the air cell sizes and compare them to what they should be. Also I've learned there are 2 ways to...

In my former thread that was asking what temp and humidity works for you I totally forgot to mention that I was doing a dry hatch☹️ So my question is, what temp do you use for dry hatching? I am currently doing around 100.5, but is that the proper temp for dry hatching? Also, is it okay that my...

So I don't see anywhere to find information on dry hatching peafowl!? Has anyone had experience and Is it possible? Thanks!

...do. I heard that with wet hatching (normal hatch method) the hatch rate is lower and more chicks get splayed legs, whereas if you do the dry hatch method, the hatch rate is way higher and very little to no chicks get splayed legs. Is this true and have any of you done a dry hatch before? I am...

I have a chick that has been hatched for 9 hours now, but the feathers on the back still looks wet and thim and you can see it's skin. Might it have egg residue? What should we do? I don't want to move it to the brooder too soon. It's buddy just hatched a couple hours ago and is still quite...

Considering ordering some Muscovy eggs. I’ll be out of town from days 18-23ish and I’m wondering if I can dry hatch them (but increase humidity at lockdown) so I don’t have to worry about the humidity while I’m gone. The humidity would naturally be around 25% in my incubator. Thanks.

Hey guys so I’m dry hatching for the first time. I have heard dry hatching has a higher success rate? Is this true? Also, if y’all could give me some Tips for a higher success rate please lmk.

Our chicks hatched this morning, and they were getting fluffy, but then the 7th chick hatched and now most of them are wet again and no longer fluffy except their heads. Is the humidity too high? There’s one last chick working to hatch. I don’t want them to freeze from being too wet! Help

Anyone have better luck with dry hatching than wet? I've been doing some research and want actual thoughts from some that have done both methods.

Hey guys I heard dry hatching has more of a success rate? Is this true? I am trying dry hatching for the first time, and I’m just asking if yall could tell me about your experiences with dry hatching and if yall like it better or not. (Maybe leave tips if wanted)

It is my first time hatching eggs. I only have 4 eggs in the incubator. I did the dry hatch method. The humidity has ran at 19-20% pretty much the entire time.Tomorrow's is day 18 so we will be going into lockdown. I candled 3 of 4 eggs and all have movement and look good. The 4th is a dark egg...

This duckling had a difficult, sticky hatch and is covered in dried membrane. It can't even move one of its wings or fully open its eye. Do you think washing it in warm water would be too much of a risk that it would take chill? If so, how else might I clean it up a little? It's still in the...

I have some eggs that pipped over 24 hours ago, but the spot they pipped seems to be drying up. Do I need to assist these hatches? I’m worried about the membrane drying up and them getting stuck inside. I can see them moving around inside the egg but it appears to be drying up. I only have 1...

I have a few goose eggs incubating and they started pipping yesterday morning. One of them opened up their shell by about a half inch by one inch "window" then stopped, another one pipped a little bit and another hatched already. There's a fourth egg with movement inside it but no external...

I’m have several chicks that have already hatch but one that just hatch has blood coming from it umbilical cord and the dried chicks are pecking at it!! How do I remove the dried chicks without losing a ton of humidity. I have one left that’s still pipping.

I do not like the Little Giant Incubator. It is still air, styrofoam and has no egg turner. The bare bones $50 one I bought at Russell Feed. I pretty much have a 100% hatch rate. Unfortunately, every single time, the chicks remain soaked after hatch and never dry off not even a little. The last...

Hi all, I am hatching eggs in my classroom. I had 14 hatch in a styrofoam incubator. Because of the high hatch rate and the varying hatch times, my incubator got really gross on the inside. I had four more who were trying to hatch, but never made it. Could the air in the incubator be toxic...

We have an egg hatching on the pointy end with yellow fluid leaking out. Day 25 hatch. It’s not peeping at the moment but it does seem to be breathing. Reoriented the egg to reduce chance of drowning. We’ll wait for now but I’d like whatever advice anyone has. Especially if the fluid does turn...
