I am using just one bater here at home right now (two are loaned out to my kids' school) and I'm doing incubating and hatching of staggered hatches. I raise humidity as normal for lockdown (I set once a week right now) and then just go back to normal humidity for me right after hatch. In fact, I don't raise humidity until internal pipping. Today, I have Java chickens set with turkeys and geese, hatching fine. Last week I had goslings hatching. Next week gosling and turkeys both.
Quote: I actually, see how people are different but still get results, I don't jump it up until I see an external pip. Now not a hole but when one is ready. The dent they make after first peck at the shell. Which always is on day 19 when I lock them down. Only takes my bator like an hour and I can go from 37 to 67. I know exactly how much water, which pans I need etc etc to make that happen. I did many test runs.
