humidity

I'm hatching 4 eggs that are currently at day 6. The temperature has been really consistent at 99.5 and the humidity has been at 50-51%. I just candled and weighed them (to see if they're losing the proper amount of moisture). 2 of the 4 eggs are clearly developing, 1 I'm pretty sure has veins...

We are incubating for the first time this year. We had planned to bring ducks onto the farm, but with avian influenza, we decided to hatch our own instead. We have the Nurture Right 360 Incubator (new), and based on the advice of others, we added shelf liner. We started the incubator about 24...

Hello I know these aren't poultry but maybe the same thing goes for poultry. so apparently today is hatching day for one for the lovebirds eggs (I do have handfeeding experience don’t worry) although since these were incubated by the hen before she suddenly died I have to guess what day they...

I live in FL and wanted to try a dry hatch this time bc of humidity issues. I’m running two incubators, a nurtureright360 at 30% humidity, no water and then Little Giants incubator with no water at 50% humidity. It’s day two and they’ve both been staying pretty steady at those numbers. should I...

Hello! This is my very first time hatching eggs for my kindergarten classroom. We are doing chicken eggs. My humidity was at 55 but has crept up over 60 since I’ve accidentally bumped the water container. It cost an extra bay to fill with water in the bottom tray. It was at 61 and I am home now...

Hi everyone! I have a 1953 Leahy Favorite Incubator. I want to get it started, but the adjustment dials on the top have worn off and i cannot read to make adjustments. Does anyone have a photo of the top of their units or a manual photo I could use? I was not able to purchase or download manual...

What do you generally try to keep your humidity at? What is your average hatch rate?

Hi all! I just checked my eggs to find the humidity at 4% 😩. I know it was at 50% yesterday but not sure I checked before bed. Of course I’ve added water and all is back up to normal levels, but will this effect development? Have I lost all six eggs? I was planning to candle today but winder...

New to incubating, have a small tote incubator running good. Decided to scale up and build a cabinet incubator. Trying to get my humidity up before I put my eggs in. Have a fridge fan for circulation at top and 360w of bulbs for heat. I've put two pans of water at the bottom of the cabinet where...

After all the chicks hatch, does the humidity need to stay around 65-70% ? Or can it go down? , this is my first time incubating eggs and I am on day 7, so I really need to know soon !

44 eggs 30 hatched (so far) 1 failure

Omg. Day 32. Had given up hope. Thought I heard tiny chirping yesterday...today I saw piping and slightly louder chirping. YAY...

25 chicks hatched!! Yay. Hoping more do. See a few have pipped. One is trying to break shell. After 2 days of being hatched, it was time to pull a few out. Yay!!!

Humidity dropped to 30° about a week ago. We are hatching tho!! Yay!! Quail babies...

YAY!!! quail are finally pipping. Heard a little chirping. And we got a wiggly egg. The eggs went into the incubator on Sunday November 21st. I didn't count the 21st... and did not expect them till December 9th on day 18. Super exciting...

Thought I did enough research before but I guess not considering this last hatch rate. Throw me all your incubation tips for coturnix quail. For both still air and circulated, and hand turning tips. What humidity do you prefer? Do you dry hatch? What day do you go into lockdown? 14 or 15? What...

Hello! I am really new to incubating and would really appreciate any advice! I received eggs in the mail yesterday. I let them sit at 55-60 degrees F. Room air is about 55-59. I put the eggs in this morning and when I noticed the incubator was up to 75 % humidity. I then opened the incubator to...
