I have my first hatch started in my brand new incubator. (Birthday present for me from family, I turned "63")
I have a full incubator chicken eggs, silkies to be exact.
I`ll tell you about my incubator so you can help me better...........
The incubator is digital, its forced air, an automatic turner, (alarms for high and low temp and humidity)
I have read so many different humidity settings. I`m pulling out my hair. I have it currently set to alarm me if it goes down to 40% humidity. I keep it at usually 44% to 45%. But now the more I read the more I`m afraid I may have it too high... please give me your input. I have a lot of money riding on this hatch. Plus I plan on keeping a few for pets.
My temp is great so no worries there, just need help with the humidity please.
Thanks for any info you can share with me.
