First you. You need to move your broodies to a private place away from the other hens. When they get out once a day to do their business another hen gets in and lays and egg. When the broody comes back she just gets in another nest that has eggs. Her hormones just tell her to sit on...

55% humidity sounds great, that's always my goal with "dry incubation" (not really dry, just dryer than most instructions). As far as venting, I am hoping that others will advise on this. I understand that the most venting is needed when they have pipped & even more so when they are...
Well, we're nearly into the 4th week of April & I see that there are still some "rockers, pips & lockdown." So it's still happening this month, will be hanging around this thread until you're all done.
I didn't hatch any thing in April as planned, but will see what I can come up with in May...

Will your dog give birth close to the date or is more of a suggested date like with horses? Like my mare is due April 30th, but anytime from April 16-June practically is considered normal. Good luck with those pups, would love to see lots of pics, what kind are they?
I have one...
