First hatch attempt!

[jruner]

I have ten eggs in my Styrofoam incubator and the owns I can candle-they are brown eggs, are looking good! Temps are 99-100 steady and humidity is 55-65 percent. Hoping for 11/28 hatch date.

awesome! and

looks like you're doing good so far! are the temps. in the syro-bator steady? how about humidity? Is the bator homemade? I made one for this Spring and I want to see how they work for other people.

But I just wanted to warn you to maybe lower humidity a tiny tiny bit(it should be 30-45% at first, and no lower than 25%.) but that's just my opion. Go for whatever you think will work and don't worry if your hatch turns out not as you hoped. Trust me, i bet a lot of people have been a little disappointed when they started hatching.

But that way you can learn from your mistakes.
But I would say keep hum. 25-45%, 25 being lowest and 45 being ONE of the highest. It's OK if it goes up to 50% though)

Good luck and I hope you get lots of fuzzy butts!!(and if you get a bad hatch rate, I hope you learn from your mistakes and do much much better next time!)

Thanks for the replies I lowered my humidity to forty percent. Hopefully they are o.k. The temps are staying at 100.
