2015 HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long, Join us IF YOU DARE!

[TJChickens]

Well....out of the 20 eggs that the Guinea hen was hoarding, One is still viable! She came off her nest this morning so I stole all her eggs real quick and brought them in to candle. Most were rotten and early death, a couple were later deaths and one was still moving but doesn't seem strong. So, into the incubator with that one.

What kind of goats are those?

Wow so many posts since I've looked. I will not try to read each one though.

So tomorrow is the dag for setting. It's very tempting to set some. But I really don't know where is put them. Stool got some four week olds in the brooder. They'd only be 7 weeks if I set these.

I was too anxious to wait, I am just hoping for a good hatch. Even if it is a few days before Halloween.

So, there are a few of you already setting! Not just me!!

Put 31 eggs in our bator Wednesday and we are having issues with it, is it safe to transfer them to a new incubator? Also there seems to be a lot Of debate on the internet on the propper temp/humiditity level, what do you suggest?

Sure, go for it, especially if you are having problems! I put mine in on Wed. night, late, too.

A lot of us have just gone what works for us. We've hatched for yrs. And, still have problems here and there. I just had a terrible hatch after having hatched from the same gal and gotten great results, with the same bator, the same temps, and the same humidity. Shipped eggs. Guess I lucked out the first few times.

For still air and on silkies, I don't use much humidity. Below what is suggested.
Even on LF eggs. I go 60% or just a bit higher for lock down. During incubation, I do 30%, or just a bit higher. Not sure where you are from, or what breed you have in. Some say this makes a difference too. Like I said, I do my silkies different than what I just suggested for LF.
