I have 10 eggs in my incubator.( orpington, bard rock, red sex-link, leghorn mix)I've kept it at 99.5-100.1 since May 2. They r on a automatic turner in a still air incubator. when do I need to remove the turner? how long till they hatch? What humidity do I need to keep it at? what do I do when they start hatching? Should I candle them now? I need all the info and advice I can get. thank u so much in advance
 
Also new but mine just hatched. We stopped day 18 on the turner, Humidity was from 45-70 hard to keep it consistent,temp was from 98-101 mine incubator has a fan. I candled mine on day nine or ten can't remember and 10 out of 11 where moving. I waited to they fluffed a little which took a couple of hour then moved them to a brooder keeping it around a 100. Feeding them chic starter and water dish with marbles in it so they can't fall in. I read that tip somewhere and it seems to work. Hope this helps.
