First Lockdown with 15 chicken eggs!!

[Jolynn191978]

We are raising broilers for the first time and fumbling through the whole hatching adventure with a homemade incubator. I am on Day 18 and just locked down at 74% humidity and I am freaked out (in a good way) Too high? Any tips?

nope, that number of humidity is good enough. if possible raise till almost 80%.

It's fine. It may be slightly high, but will come down over the next day or so on it's own until the chicks start to hatch, then it will rise really fast again. Hold tight and good luck with your hatch!
