Quote: I'm not sure what you read that I said different? I read your article and other than being long it said 25% and the end of hatch up to 60%...I have a dropped and if the humidity drops below 25% I add a dropper of water

a dry incubation is around 25% humidity....then lock down 40% to  65%....but if you live in a dry area you might consult with others that incubate successfully there....

We are in SC, so the humidity here is pretty high. We only added a teaspoon of water at lockdown.

Sorry, I'm gonna throw my 2¢ in.... bought eggs from cardinalridgefarm here on byc. Her name is marci and out of 8 eggs 7 made it and I blew it at the enc. She did a wondrful job getting them to me . It all depends on who and how I think. Byc is a great place, in my opinion, to get fertile eggs

Thanks for the feed back! I have noticed the number of people here who get hatching eggs, and maybe some day I will get my own

Quote: here in N. Texas it's pretty high so it doesn't take much to raise the humidity for hatch!
even though the dry incubation I had one little one I had to help because it was gooey!! the rest of the clutch are hatching fine with no goo!

I just started incubation on 3 breeds from mail order. I am also trying my luck with selling on the bay too with one add on there. But the only breed i have laying is BB Red old english game bantams. Ill be glad when my other 4 breeds are laying so i can put the eggs from them on the bay too.

Quote: some of the best shipped eggs I've bought that are at this time hatching are from a byc friend! we are all members because we love and care for our flocks so it stands to reason our flocks are healthy and well cared for...so the eggs do well...
