buttons

Also i am doing dry incubation. can you do that with buttons ?

The proper humidity is vital, for a successful hatch.

Yes, i know. But i've read about dry incubation and wondered if it would work with buttons. basically you only add water when going to lockdown.

I`m against using carton because some of my cracked when i delivered them. Plastic is my way to go but sometimes you have no choise

 

[elmi]

ah okey. What do you think about dry incubating button quail ?

 

[eggbert420]

I dry incubate chicken eggs, but I live in a very humid climate.

 

[elmi]

okey. I've been keeping a little wet piece of paper in the incubator for now. But i might just remove it and go for dry and only add the water when going to lockdown. Also if anyone know what day should i candle button eggs or should i candle them at all ?

 

[eggbert420]

With dry incubation, you should keep a close eye on the size of the air cells. Its important that they don't get to big and shrink wrap the chicks.

without the wet paper my humidity was around 20%. But with it, it was like 50-70 so i have only one little piece now. and i broke my hygrometer so i don't know what it is now ://
