if you re-read what I typed earlier is says incubation at 30% or less and lockdown at 75% +, not 75% the entire time or yes they very well will drown.
I have a favor to ask... I picked up a GQF 1502 incubator over the weekend. It is the older wooden model with the wafer thermostat, not the new white, digital one. Living in Florida with our crazy humidity I was wondering if anyone who uses this model to hatch can give me some pointers on what the humidity should be during Days 1-18 and then what should I up it to for lockdown. Is it the same as using a smaller incubator? The very first hatch I did in my homemade incubator I did by the book and had soaking wet chicks and drowned a few too. After that I switched to the dry hatch method. Day 1-18 humidity was mid to high 30's and then 55-60% during lockdown. Chicks were damp, fluffed up within a few hours and my hatch rate greatly improved. I would like to continue using the dry hatch method and any info would be appreciated.
Love your setup! Where did you buy the brooder? That thing is neat!
I bought the shelves at a yard sale and made the cabinet out of it.Love your setup! Where did you buy the brooder? That thing is neat!
I took a chance on Saturday and drove 90 miles to this. There were at the most only 4 vendors with just a couple of chickens each (roos) and most of them were pushing Turkeys. One vendor had some good looking full blood RIR chicks, but we were looking for older pullets.Has anyone ever been to this farm sale in Fellsmere? I've seen several ads for it recently.
