the puppies are so cute. my incubator is a week away from hatch day.
hope everyone in there makes it

As long as air cells are the right size they should hatch great....Humidity is a total factor in success..

I'm enjoying the puppies at this age..In a week or so they will be all over the place..

Humidity is a total factor in success..

it has been 47%- 48% all incubation, just got to up it to 70% for hatching

As long as the air cells are nice and big they should hatch perfectly. I start at 40% then locked at 60%

Okay thanks for the tip. do you have to have water in it or refill it before lockdown to get it to stay at 40%, cause I added water at the beginning and then ignored it and the humidity has never changed

Oh? Im thinking your doing a dry hatch because some incubators keep showing a humidity without actually having proper humidity actually..

 

[chickens really]

I add water to my incubator or it runs dry...

 

[Clearwater Chicken]

dry hatch? i think its cause my fish tanks keep the ambient humidity so high. and the air cells look normal

I do dry hatch ... My incubator is solid hard plastic called as Janoel24, 56 egg... I have a mini holds 8 eggs.. Temp is solid but they do better on dry hatches
Love pups best when they first barked scare themselves
