Hi, it's nice to have you here with us! Here's a link to the incubating/hatching forum, that's a good place to get advice on your humidity question:
Incubating & Hatching Eggs

Best wishes for a good hatch!

Thanks!

Welcome! I have an uncle in Pakistan. I have heard of aseels, but not golden misris, how do they look like? Have fun!

The closest thing I can compare them to is a mix of orpington and rhode island red. They're a bit tiny bcuz they're bred to take care of themselves on farms with minimal support from humans.

Interesting, kind of like a bantam?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Can you brood the chicks within sight of the current flock? What type of housing are you using for such an enormous flock?

Honestly, I have enough space till they're about 6 weeks old. Then I plan on taking the 130 or so expected BAs to my family's farm. I will be keeping the rest that are composed of silkies, Plymouth rocks and this breed called Heavy buffs which will total around an expected 80. For these I have a 160 sq ft coop . Besides the coop they will have around 16000 sq ft to roam. I really hope these are enough.

Hi! Welcome to BYC! And good luck with your very large chicken population! I'm sure you can get good advice from the folks here. You might try posting the space and integration concerns in the forum for Managing your Flock.

Spent some time in Lahore for a job setting up a textile plant, good luck with your birds...

I hope you enjoyed your visit

Hello! Welcome to BYC!! How many square feet of roosting space do you have in that coop? That's going to be pretty darn tight for all of those birds, especially being large fowl. When they wake up in the morning, is the run secure so they can immediately disperse?

I might have used the term coop wrong, the "coop" is only for roosting and everything, including their hatching crates, food and water supply are separate. There's got to be around 50-60 feet of perches for roosting but I will have to check. And yea the run is secure, and while they will have one door to exit from, i'd assume they'd still immediately disperse.

I would assume a bantam to be smaller, these chickens, well atleast mine, weigh around 2-3 kg(never really weighed them) which is 4-7 lbs.
