Who has an opinion on the best hatching humidity for calls? Incubation and lockdown?

For the first 23 days, it really will depend on your local climate and elevation, etc. For me around 30 to 40 percent is good. This article should help you figure out what will work for you:

For the last three days, 65 to 70 percent is good.

I just run mine dry, but lots of humidity here... I would start dry, then add water if needed... easier to add water once incubating than to get it out/lower it... check air cells... and if needed, mist the eggs if air cells aren't growing big enough...

I may just do this as the humidity is high where i am as well at sea level near the water. BYC is constantly gaining more knowledge so i thought id ask since it's been awhile since ive hatched . I have 6 eggs but still hoping for and waiting on more

How to weigh a DUX...

Put the DUX in a box and seal it in...have them mail it for postage costs at the USPS...... then take the dux out and weigh the box for a price on shipping the empty box!!!


I thought I had posted this a while back, when the discussion on DUX weighing was going on....Maybe I forgot to press "post Reply"....at my age that can happen...
