3 Roosters are fine for 25 hens, I used to have an addiction to hatching chickens a few years back and had about 6 roosters with 20 hens, of course, I got rid of all of them but I have been there. Don't worry about it unless things get a bit bloody among the roosters. Best of luck!

Hey, how are things going now? For me some of mine hatched on days 24-25 don't lose hope, let Mother Nature do her business.

80% is a bit to high for lockdown. do you have a still air?

She lived that long?? Amazing! You are a great chicken keeper. With the feet situation, She is a very old bird her body may be giving out. I am very shocked she lived this long.

The humidity during the incubation should be between 50% to about 60% you are doing just fine, good luck! Happy hatching.

The blankets were over them just for about 10 minutes, Thank you for your reply, it makes me feel a lot better.

So I have been incubating eggs for about twelve days, I put 18 eggs in and had 17 developing very well! Until today. For about an hour and a half the power has been out, I was doing homestead activities outside so I had no idea about this. I came back in and saw the temp down to 80-83F Humidity...

Hello byc! today is day 20 of incubating chicken eggs and I have one last question. So I walked over to the incubator this morning, just to see if i could view any signs of pipping. And no :hmm But! I was just tapping the incubator and I heard four chirps. but no pip. Is this normal? I'm not...

They started wattling yesterday. I'm looking forward into seeing them! Man I can't wait.

They can last about 7 days before they can be put under a hen. Just make sure the hen does not get to bored while she is waiting. ;)

Hey, I am now on day 19 of incubation, and i was wondering if seeing an egg wattle means that they are on there way. If they do this will they be out in the next day?

I did see a couple of them wattle a little. And I don't know if it was my imagination, but i thought I heard a chirp earlier this morning.

I am more close to the city. And our village is very perticular about self-isolation. I ended up buying some from Chewy.com. and got it yesterday. Thank you all for your help.

Hello. Today is day 17 of incubation and it is really exciting. Would it mess anything up if I locked down the eggs today? Or at least remove the turner. Because I don't want them to hatch on the opposite side of the egg when I lay them down flat. Thanks

The first 3 days the temperature was up at 103.0F but that was before I got a thermometer. After those 3 days it has been around 100.2F Thank you!

Hello guys! It's day 16 of incubation, and I just have a really quick question. Can I Remove the egg turner tomorrow? I have seen the eggs moving a little if I looked hard enough. Thank you for any help.

Thank you! The air sells are not down on one side. But this is when I candles them last night. Should I decrease the humidity?

Hello Byc! I have been incubating eggs for 16 days now and I just need a couple answers about the days to come. #1 My temperature throughout the incubation period was at a steady 100.0F to about 100.2F my question is that, will I get an early batch because of this? or a later one. My incubator...

No problem! I hope your hatch goes well. Update me in a couple days, i want to know how well your batch goes.

Alright so what I would do is get the chick out fast. But make sure it's quick as possible, and get it under the lamp. This is making me excited with my batch hatching in a couple days.
