[chickenman111]

I'm going to incubate some of my Dominique and Rhode Island Red eggs and I would like to have some advice. What temp works best, humidity any other advice too.

Thanks

I was wanting to know if a still air or a fan forced incubator is better. I have a still air, should I just use it or should I buy a fan attachment for it. any other tips will be welcomed.

Thanks

Fan is usually recommended over still air

I prefer a fan over still air, so I don't have to worry about warmer and cooler spots in the incubator. But I'm sure there are pro's and con's to both methods.
"Dry incubation" I heard gives very good hatch results, so you may want to look into that. Here's an article on it as well as an article on incubation that I think covers about every aspect of incubation:

Good luck with your hatch!
