Hiya everyone,
My speckledy hen is sat on 6 silver birchen pekin eggs and she's been doing a fabulous job. Day 18 will be on Thursday, and I'm just wondering if i need to do anything to her nest to control humidity or if it'll all be sorted itself. Her nest is sawdust and straw, and she's in a nest box that's above floor level.
 
You just need to sit back and watch the show... Chickens have been hatching eggs long before the incubator was invented!

Good luck with your hatch.
 
Good luck!!!! I want to see pictures!!!

My Japanese Bantam hen Anna, Just went broody right when I get rid of her "husband". I have her on 13 Coturnix Quail eggs due to hatch on June 9th!!! I also just hatched 7 ducklings, I'm getting more eggs tomorrow and will get some through the mail from florida very soon!!! Also have some D'uccles, Jap. Bantam and Favorelles incubating. I'm hooked to hatching!!! I only have 2 incubators and got them in March. So far I"ve hatched out over 50 chicks!!!
