Just semi-anal??Broody hens are not an incubator. They do not have artificial humidity added to them. They do not get as good of a hatch rate as I do.
I follow the NPIP rules here in Minnesota. That means disinfected eggs, Disinfected hatcher, cages and nothing goes into the incubator but distilled water.
An opened package sterile glove is no longer sterile.
I am semi-anal about my hatching.
