I usually wait until the day after the due date and decide. Some wait several days after??

The ones in the pic were built out of some-what used plywood and some things I had laying around---had to order a few things. I built the turner, and used a rotisserie turning motor to start with to turn it. Had to change that because it was not strong enough the way it was set-up to turn 288...

Hatching on day 25 sounds as though the heat was a little to hot, but then the rest on day 28/29??? Uneven heat maybe?? Let me tell you quickly what I do. I set the humidity at about 30/35%---never any higher for the incubation, then I raise it to about 80% for the hatch. With some of the built...

The problem with a heat lamp is if you get it high enough it is about 90 degree's in the middle of the hottest part of the light----its to wide for a small brooder. If you got it hanging in a big room---with a few hundred chicks--then it will be ok. How big is your brooder? First week about...

The reason I do not open my incubator any more until the hatch day has past is years back when I did that, seemed most of the unhatched eggs would not hatch about every time. My mother had the same problem, my step sister, several of my friends all had the same problem. Then I started just...

I leave them in until they all hatch or a day after the due hatch date. 3 days most of the time for the first hatched----With NO Problems. And I to do not open my incubator until then. I have raised a lot of them and they 2 get 20% chick starter and a sprinkle of sand each time I fill their...
