Ok, so I keep chickens but have never hatched any myself. My dad made me an incubator which didn't work, I tried twice with 6 eggs in each. I know the problem here was because the regulator for the temperature was too localised and so the heater would switch off too soon and the eggs were nit all reaching correct temp. So now we bought an incubator and I was all set up. I bought half dozen on line and a friend gave me 4. After candling I discovered 3 of the purchased ones were no good and 2 of the ones my friend gave me had the red ring in them. Anyway, day 21 is here and no chicks, I candled them around day 16 and all was good, they had movements inside and I just don't understand why this is not working!!! The only thing that I could possibly think of is that I seem to be unable to raise the humidity past 50% in the incy but I think I am right in saying that people do hatch eggs without any humidity so why do I keep failing?
HELP!!!!!
Thanks
