In checking out the list of links, the first two that go to Mississippi State are dead. I know because I looked for them. I did find this guide, though.

I have 2 buffs that are broody, my grandkids want to trying hatching chicks "the natural way" with broody mama
can this be done??? I know I will need to separate them from the flock and make food and water available
nearby. Right now I have to physically remove them from the boxes and take them out of the coop where they
are "dazed and confused and ruffled" any good advice would be appreciated. Also, the eggs I have 5 different breeds
how can I tell which egg is from which breed. I have buffs, RIR, aussies, isa browns, speckled black and white I forgot the breed right now
thanks for any help

I'm confused the egg guide first says incubating at 99-100 degrees and then two paragraphs down says 84-86 degrees which is it?

Yes, that was careless of them. It is 99-100. I think they meant 84-86% humidity. The article makes that same mistake in several places on several different pages, and the only hint of the error is that it occurs after they mention humidity.

Hi everyone! I'm brand new here. I just purchased the Farm Innovations 4200. A test run confirmed that the built-in thermometer is not accurate. Does anyone know can I control humidity in this unit?
