As soon as all the eggs are done , take out the extra water trays. That way the humidity should go back to the 50 % ish range .

Good Job, I knew you could do it.

Looking Good !!

Great...glad the humidity came up for you. Hope your hatch turns out great.

Like I said in previous post, I hatch weekly from the same Dickey incubator, I raise the humidity to 78-80% on the 18th-19th day til the eggs hatch... and the one still in the setting tray still hatch the next week when they are due. Guess you will have to do TRIAL BY ERROR. I really don't...

Ok, I have never sprayed eggs before to get the humidity up. Seems to me if it raises it any it wouldn't be for long before it evaporated. Have you closed up any of the vents? If you can, empty the water tray and add hot water, and see if your humidity goes up. You will increase the...

When you drop an egg and get a small dent or crack you can use Elmer's Glue to seal it. Just put a small thin film of it on the egg. Keep the egg from drying out.

You may be doing this already, add really warm water in your trays - this will help get the incubator back up to the right temp quickly:thumbsup

I did have the wafer...but I worried about them going bad(just me) so I converted mine to electronic, I like it better. IMO I didn't like changing the wafers every season(year) and having to adjust temp all over again. Guess I am just lazy...

I used to worry so much over humidity too..would drive me crazy But, I had several that were drowning in the shell, that is why I tried the "DRY" hatch method...and I like it:ya I DO have to keep up with the 18 day so I can add the water. Also by adding the water it doesn't seem to bother...

I cages that I make from welded wire. I use 1/2"x1" for the flooring and 1"x1" welded wire for the sides & top. I use the 24 inch in height wire(which is good for most bantams). I make long pens and then divide them into sections. So you could make them any size you want. I have several that...

The same one you setup today. A Dickey. I also have a sportsman, but I like the Dickey better. I got my fingers crossed for your hatch !

This year I have been using the DRY hatch method, and it has worked out pretty good. Here in AL my humidity stayed around 45 % with no water added. Then on the 18 th day I had very warm water, then humidity jumps to 80%. And here is what I took out earlier today.

Oh..no. Is that the usual time it run there for you ? Maybe, it just running a little behind.

I wished your incubator came in a couple of days before the eggs. Your incubator needs to stabilize for a couple of days before setting eggs. Good luck , I keep my fingers crossed for you.
