My bator is also an LG. No fan but has a turner, then a homemade one w a fan and no turner lol. I posted a video link of the salt test. By "dry" for me I've added no water the last few hatches. When I first got my LG I was filling up the channels like the directions said. Sally told me about dry incubating and its sooooooooooooooo much easier to keep the humidity at a decent level now. I don't know if 35 is right for dry..........but its the best I can do for where I am. Someone else can probably tell you the correct % on it

thank you! im going to try the lower humidity this bout around. i was at 50% last time and had poor results. at lock down do you continue at 35%?

Well, I am officially unplugged. Last one was a dud too. Well, this was a disappointing round, but tomorrow I will disinfect and wait excitedly for the mail to come next week. Staying positive!

That's such a sad photo.

I am so excited to get home and check my incubator. I had pips yesterday so I should have a chick or two! They'll be going under my broody who lost all her eggs thanks to a round of nest switching. I'm sure she'll be happy to have them.

I have 5 pips

And chirping

4 d'Uccles and a bantam EE. I've had trouble with late losses in this incubator the last couple of go rounds and didn't have a lot of time to mess with it during this cycle, so I hope the hatch is decent. I know at least a couple out of the 23 looked like they gave up around day 18.


Tomorrow's Halloween!!!!!
