First time

[BrittanyD10]

I get my incubator today and it's my first time , I wanna make sure I do everything right and healthy for possible chicks, I'm hatching my own eggs laid by my hens, so what's some good information and help advice ?

1. Do not clean the eggs. You will wipe off the bloom.
2. Pipping could take as long as 18 hours.
3. do not touch the newborn chicks.

Hello! For detail information id look at my post i made) but heres some extra info at the top of my head that i personally know..

when incubating eggs id keep them at about the temperature of 99.5* F. (or 37.2* C)

Keep balanced humity (Or do a dry incubation, that works to, i find humity to work better though)

The tempature can range from 98* F - 102* F. And work fine, but any higher or lower and id say that wouldnt be to good..

thats all for now! Good luck. And happy hatching
