I found an article online that recommended keeping incubation and hatch records. Things like how many eggs hatched, how many were fertile (or not), how many died at hatching, or died at the pip, etc, etc.
It also recommended keeping a record of the incubator. Recording the temp and humidity of the incubator as well as the room daily. If the turner is working, if the water was checked, if you candled, just good old fashioned notes.
I think this would be a good thing to do especially if you plan on doing multiple hatches. This way you have a record of what worked, what didn’t, hatch rates, and so on.
I’ll be starting my eggs tomorrow and I’m wondering if anyone keeps records.
And if so.....how do you keep track? Excel file?
What information do you keep?
Thanks in advance!
