Hey gang,
We just built our first incubator and it's a beauty. Tested it for a week and are purring at 99.5 degrees with 50% humidity.
Have the set-up ready to increase humidity on day 18 of the first eggs.
Question - we have been collecting eggs (2 as of today even) and wondering how to compensate for the range it hatch dates and monitoring humidity.
Hatches should be:
4 eggs June 5th
3 eggs June 6th
2 eggs June 9th
2 eggs June 12th
What is the humidity range to accommodate for some eggs in the 'bator' that will hatch 5-7 days before the others?
Am I toast on this? I am sure we're not the first to tackle this.
Thanks,
Kurt
