4 silkie eggs in the bator

[howfunkyisurchicken]

They'll be fine. I write on all of my hatching eggs with a permanent marker, even the ones I put under my hens. I write the date they're laid, the date they should hatch and an x on one side and an o on the other so I know I've turned them all

 

[coolmind1999]

I do the o and x too

I also measure the air cell devlepment

yayyyy I finally got one ! my friend said that his dad had a hygrometer at work so he let me borrow that it tells temp humidty and time

Well done - trust me it will help your success!

 

[coolmind1999]

ok so the temp is 100.5 and humidty is 55 percent and its day 6 every thing seems ok?

 

[chickinthebator]

Yep all seems pretty good maybe decrease the temperature a tad to around 100 but other than that as long as you are turning the eggs?? Everything seems good.

 

[coolmind1999]

I turn eggs 4 times a day ps my incubator is still air so should I still make it 100? my cusion said to keep temp 101 for still air but I thought tht might fry them but other wise I hope these silkies make it

 

[chickinthebator]

I'd say perfect temp for still air is 100.5 so keep it if you can't go halfway!!

 

[coolmind1999]

ur right just incase .... so I put it too 100 and humidty dropped till 48
