Day 19- dry incubation

[nccatnip]

I was not happy with my last hatch ratio and decided to try the dry incubation method with no candling. I am at day 19 this morning with BO and Gold Phoenix.

No candling???? I don't think I could do it, I fret too much. Karen

I was thinking about trying this method. I might just hatch out some mutt babies to try first. Good luck let us know how it goes.

Good luck. I use what would probably be called dry incubation for the first 18 days and so far, so good.

nccatnip, just curious, how dry is dry? What is the % of humidity?

 

[speckledhen]

Dry usually means below 50% and anywhere between 25% and 50%. In some climates, it may work better than others, but I always try to keep my humidity below 50% somewhat, and most often between 35 and 50% the first 18 days. The last three, it's around 65-70%

I realize this, but I was looking for input from nccatnip on what his particular humidity range was... dry incubation can mean different things to different people.
