Hi! I am new at hatching eggs, it is my first time ever doing it , i have a 48 egg holder automatic incubator (FHQ-II Intelligent Incubator Controller SKY1902 SKY2442) temperature reads 37.2C° on the incubator and 53% humidity it rotates the eggs every 2 hours. I bought a separate hygrometer and a separate thermometer as well and inside the incubator the temperature reads at 38.5C° and 100-101F° on the thermometers. Humidity reads inside the incubator 44% so they read differently than the incubator's temp/humidity alone. My questions are
1) what day am i on today (15,16)?
2)When should i put them on lock down?
3)What should the humidity be on lockdown?
4) what temperature should they be on lockdown/hatching?
5) how soon should i remove them to the brooder and get rid of the eggs that did not hatch?
Right now i have 8 eggs out 18 that survived the incubation process (up until today) and 1 extra egg that im not sure is dead but it looks kind of dead. I placed the eggs in the incubator on Monday July 10, 2017 at 3:00PM does that mean that they should hatch Monday July 31st at 3:00PM ? Or would they hatch on Sunday? .. Thank you in advance for your answers/suggestions..
*i have chicken eggs (not sure what kind of breed they are, got them from a friend's friend but they don't know either) ..
