EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[ChickenLady2014]

 


I am going to differ slightly with these two webbed feet lovers...   

The 97 does not bother me at all.  the 102 does.   I would be extremely nervous if I ever caught mine that high.

I would suggest a 2nd wafer be installed to limit the high temps.   I know they say in the literature from GQF to set it at 102.  I set mine at 101.  I do not want to push that high temp.

Low temps are not going to kill the embryos as fast as a high temp will.


I use "basil thermometers" that are accurate to 0.1 degree to check my temps.    

10AcreChick, listen to him, despite his stance on ducks... He actually gets good hatch rates, unlike yours truly.

Has anyone heard how Whites came thru his surgery today?

Thanks, but not always. This time or the year is hard on any of us Arctic Dwellers.

You get hatch rates up to 90% in summer.... Mine don't go up. Well, they hit an average of 50% in summer, but still
I had one stretch of nice, high rates before they dropped again....
