First Incubating

[tdballew]

Just set my first set of eggs last night. Should hatch around the 23rd. Wish me luck. Can not wait until I see them hatch. I ordered a Hova Bator 2362N with egg turner. Temp is at 99.7 and RH is 53%. A friend gave me 15 eggs to try. Hope everything goes well!

Your hum sounds a little high check this site out... https://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-DryIncubation.html

Even if you dont do the dry you should try to get your hum down into the 40's at least.

Thank you I will try to get the hum down to the 40's

What do you mean dry incubation? You mean no added water ?
