    Day 20 incubation help

    I am so crushed! Been incubating duck eggs for first time. We initially had 3 (one went bad early on). The two remaining have been thriving and growing and moving and doing great when all of a sudden I candles one of them (day 20) and saw this. Didn’t see any movement and I’m certain this is not...

    Incubating without Hygrometer

    Hi all, I have this old homemade incubator that I have only used for ill pigeons and their chicks. It has a thermometer an automatic light-heat-situation but there is no way of measuring humidity. My question is is there some kind of way I can keep the humidity more or less correct without the...

    Humidity to high in brooder, please advise.

    I am a new duck mom, raising my first set of ducklings, and I have a question about humidity in their environment... I have my lights as far away from their water as possible (only shinning in a small corner on the opposite side, which seems comfortable to them). And have scaled down to a 75...

    Humidity question

    So days 1-10 my humidity was average 65. Finally figured out my humidity on day 10 and lowered it to 50-60. I’m currently on the first day of lock down. With humidity holding at 65-68. Do you think the chicks will be okay?

    Humidity temperature for hatching eggs?

    At first I thought I knew everything about incubating eggs, but it seems that the more I read the more I am confused? Some people say to put the humidity as low as 40, and others say no less then 55. I even see people putting it as high as 70 for the first few days! So which one is it??? Is 50...

    What is too hot/cold????

    Hi all, Newbie here to hatching eggs with a bator (so much less worry/fuss with a broody. 😃). I'm on my second hatch and was wondering what temperature is too hot or too cool for a forced air incubator? I have the Hovabator 2370 with an automatic turner. I just set the eggs this morning and...

    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...

    I still cannot control humidity and my partner may have made things worse.. HELP!

    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...

    Lockdown for duck and turkey eggs

    It’s almost day 25 for my duck and turkey eggs. They are in the same incubator at the moment, but will be putting them in separate incubators for lockdown. Do they need different humidity’s for lockdown? Do you drop the temp a little or keep it at 99.5 Fahrenheit? I’m new to this all and thought...

    GQF Sportsman 1502 Humidity - Or Too Much Moisture Loss?

    I bought a GQF Sportsman 1502 for hatching peafowl eggs and during my test runs here (on silkie eggs) I'm seeing a trend. Quick hatchers (who unzip and hatch rapidly) has no issues - hatcher who slowly pip and unzip (over the course of 24 hours) are getting stuck/shrink wrapped. The lockdown...

    Incubation Question

    Ok, so yesterday I was given 6 Blue laced red wyandotte eggs to see if the rooster was doing his job. But I have eggs already in the incubator that will be hatching on the 13th. I am doing dry incubation so will the three days of 50% - 60% and then back down to 20% hurt the eggs? I have never...
