and that is probably more than you wanted but to have successful hatches you have to do some homework!   but I did alot of it for ya!

thank you so much for all that info and your pictures are wonderful. I just wish they did not grow so fast. I do have one question regarding humidity during incubation, the charts shows humidity levels at over 80% for the first 18 days for chickens, I thought it was more like 35% then increase it to 65% after the 18th day. Which is correct.

thanks again,
Stacey
