Incubating and hatching eggs chat thread!!

What an amazing brood that will be !!!

I've always been told 50% humidity. For the first 2 weeks, then 65% for lockdown.
I'm on day 3 of my first incubation though.... so still v.new myself.

Exciting. Best of luck.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. It will be interesting to see what happens this week.

I plugged in another incubator this morning....

I'm about to do another lockdown tomorrow. I hate it when days off don't line up with hatch day ... don't they get it?

I am very interested in hatching some eggs! What do I need and what do I do?
Can I hatch eggs with a heat lamp?

Sassy I have hatched eggs with a desk lamp

Roll them at least twice a day. Mist with water occasionally.

I'd suggest getting an incubator instead.

It can be done in a pinch, but certainly not an ideal way to do an entire incubation.

I want some polish & some pencil
