I wanted to come back to this thread and update where I am with humidity and how i got there. During my test hatch, I began with humidity around 55%. I was following guidelines I found online. Reading so many posts here and in other forums, I began to question if that was a good range. Around...

I'm on day 14 and will be candling and marking the air sacs to determine if I need to raise or lower my level. I am grateful for the more experienced commenters regarding how to decide what level is right for my situation. Best of luck on your hatch! Is this your first hatch?

bumping again for more participation in the poll. :)

Thank you so much. The "Google" answer led me to believe that 55%-60% is the right answer. However, I began to question that as I searched these threads and have lowered my humidity to 45%-47%. I will continue to adapt as I learn here. I appreciate your input (and levity).

Please explain. I'm trying to learn and would very much like to hear what you mean specifically and what you consider to be "right". Okay, so I just saw your other post about it being a joke. :)

This is really helpful. I didn't weigh the eggs before setting them and I'm on day nine now so I don't know think I can gage that. However, I did draw the air cells on them when I candled on day seven. Thanks so much for the info!

So, in my case, I am using a DIY styrofoam cabinet incubator. It's rather large with an interior dimensions of 16"x18"x31". Are you saying that you typically would run this at a lower humidity point?

Thanks! I'll take a look at it.

Thanks!

Bumping for more poll participation. :)

I'm on day eight of my first hatch using our own eggs and a few from our neighbor. We put in 28 of our own and 8 of our neighbors. Without any way of knowing my rooster's fertility rate I didn't know what to expect. Of the 36 total, 1 had a lot of bubbles, 2 are quitters, 16 are fertile, and the...

Thank you.

Thank you for your input

Thank you so much for that info. This is what I'm hoping to get from more experienced breeders. From the wide range of recommendations, I have suspected that there's not really a perfect, one-size fits all answer and this helps to both confirm and explain that. Hopefully we will continue to get...

There is a wide range of opinions regarding humidity levels. Looking online for recomendations from both incubator manufactures to large and small hatcheries, it can be a bit daunting. Some say to keep it at 55% and others recommend 35%. It's a bit overwhelming for a novice. So, please let me...
