Every thing I read and and everyone I know who hatches poultry of some kind, tells me something different for incubator hatching. Humidity is one thing no one agrees on. Another is washing eggs. I use two styrofoam incubators. One with a turner and fan and another one that is still air with no turner. When I reach day 21 for my pheasant eggs, I switch eggs to the still air from the turning one. How should I maintain humidity in each of these? This is the type with the little water trays built in. I don't have a humidity tester and can only regulate by the amount I put in the trays. I've heard to keep humidity low and high in both incubators. I need some clarification from people out there on what works best.
Also how to; or if to wash eggs. I am hatching pheasants now and the people I know who hatch pheasants don't wash their eggs but most of what I read says to. So do you wash them or not and what do you use to do so?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
