High Elevation Hatching

[Ayam onthe Farm]

Hello,
I was hoping someone out there could give me some advice on hatching eggs at 5,500 feet elevation. Any tips to increase hatch rates? Anything would be helpful. Thanks

There are several people here in Wyoming that hatch eggs at 5000' or more. I live at 4700' and I haven't noticed the elevation affecting my hatches. One problem I have and you will have too in Arizona is humidity. Ours is often in the 5% to 10% range in the summer. I put a humidifier in the hatching room and also add wet sponges inside the incubator to help keep the humidity at acceptable levels.
