    Copper black maran eggs not hatching.

    I'm having a problem with my copper black maran eggs not hatching. I run a mixed flock and incubate a few clutches of barnyard mixes every year. I've been doing this for about 4 years now. I run both a cabinet incubator and a table top. Both are at 100F at 50% humidity, bumping to about 65% at...

    100% dry hatch or partial dry hatch?

    ive been having problems with chicks both making it to hatching but drowning in the egg and also chicks dying after about day 7-10. i suspect the latter is because i have to open the incubator once a day to refill the humidity since i cant do it from outside. im looking into trying a dry hatch...

    Best incubator for dry hatch

    I have a breed that hatches best with low humidity. What are some good incubators under $150 that allow for optimal humidity control? I've done a lot of research but it's so overwhelming and confusing trying to find a good one.

    Dry hatch VS incubator instructions

    Hello! This is anecdotal, but when I was searching for info on dry hatch VS "traditional" I couldn't find this... So, I'm gonna put it out there. I have hatched both ways and I wanted to share my technique for both, and the experience. I have the Kebonnix 12 egg incubator. For traditional...

    Dry hatching late bloomers?

    Hello! My mom and I set eggs from the same source 21 days ago. She had 6 in her off brand (made in China, no reviews when she bought it) and I had 9 in my Kebonnix. I did a 50% humidity normal/wet hatch. She did a dry hatch, which held at 25-30% for the first 18 days. We both upped to 65%...

    What is the lowest humidity you have used to hatch quail?

    I have been playing around with the dry hatch with great results lately (35% humidity and 70% at lockdown). However, towards the end of winter, I'm getting dry humidity at 10%. I'm afraid that is too low for a dry hatch. Has anyone had a successful hatch with ridiculously low humidity?

    Going completely dry, no water at lockdown!

    I know this topic has been brought up many times but I think we need to talk about it one more time. I've had issues with regulating the humidity in my $70 ebay incubator so I went for the dry hatch and added a bowl of water at lockdown. My good friend said he was getting 95% + hatch rate by...
