    1502 Sportsman Incubator not keeping high humidity

    So I bought the 1502 sportsman incubator a few weeks ago and I have guineas hatching right now. Keeping the humidity up has been a constant struggle, once I finally get it up it goes right back down. My Guinea keets are pretty much all stuck inside the egg due to low humidity and I’m having to...

    Humidity Problems, Is it fixible?

    Currently I’m hatching eggs, there are peacock, turkey, and guinea. I know mixing eggs like that isn’t a smart idea but normally they do fine. I’ve had to open the incubator so many times that I am very worried that I have completely messed up the humidity. A chick got its foot stuck so I had to...

    We are approaching day 20 of incubation. One egg made the tiniest pip hole, barely noticeable at first glance but its there. This happened probably 8 hours ago with no further progress. I had (micro) managed the humidity throughout the day until I had to go to work at 3. The humidity had...

    HELP IN INCUBATING EGGS IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT

    I live in a very hot (30-40*C) and humid (roughly 74%). I have started incubating chicken eggs in a small 7 egg Incubator inside our garage because it’s a safe place from our 2 cats. I then realised that there would always be a layer of water on the glass of the incubator. We then put a...
