    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...

    I’m unsure what I did wrong with hatching

    So, this was a couple years ago I bought eggs around the state to hatch for pets. Crazy part is almost all of the eggs like 30-40 of them except for two hatched. I’m not sure what I did wrong at the end though. Everything went great until they started hatching and then the moisture in the...

    No pip, no movement?

    I placed two dozen hatching eggs In an LG incubator on June 3rd at around 6pm. Still no pip or movement. Temp is 100.0 and humidity consistently around 60-65% in lockdown. Any thoughts for me? This is my first time incubating in about twenty years!

My homemade incubator isn't fit to hatch chicks, only incubate which is another...

    Covatutto 6 incubator.

    Am trying this with 3 bantam eggs. It's designed for 6. Should I put something else in to make sure temp and humidity are right? And it's a funny little incubator with badly translated (from Italian) directions. Do any of you have one and use it successfully? Thank you.

    Day 22

    Hey everyone we are at Day 22 of 6 eggs in the incubator. I candled them about 6-7 days in and saw development in all but one (because I couldn’t see through the dark, hard shell). Well here we are at day 22 and there is no pipping or anything going on. Temp and humidity are where they should be...

    Lockdown and humidity

    My hovabator gets low water/humidity daily. It is very dry in my house since we are still in the clutches of winter and running the wood stove. I'm going into lockdown in a few days. How do I keep the humidity up without popping in to add water? Thanks!
