First Time Hatcher 71%

[outdoorpodcast]

Over the last 6 days we've hatched out our first 2 hatches ever. We had 5 out of 7 local eggs hatch and 15 out 20 shipped eggs hatched which is 71% for both hatches. This was a fun family project and will be doing it more in the future.

We used the LG Still Air with egg turner.

Thanks! I kind of surprised myself with that rate for my first two. I had a temp spike of 120F in the first batch of 7 for about an hour an a spike early one of 108 in the 2nd batch. Once I covered the LG with a towel, the temp settled down and held a steady 99.5 for the remaining time with zero adjustments.
