Incubating Midnight Majesty Marans - Ontario Canada

[Katiewever]

Hi all,

I just did a hatch of midnight majesty marans and they were probably my most difficult hatch. I'm working on calibrating my thermometers and hygrometers because I suspect something was off for them.

But I wanted to ask because now I'm second guessing myself. I am using a Hovabator 1586 and I live in Southern Ontario. What would be my temperature and humidity level for hatching? If my instruments were correct, I ran the last hatch at 99.5 F and 40%-50% for the first 18 days, and then 65%-75%. Should I change that once I calibrate my instruments? Or should that be what I am aiming for?

Thank you all for your help!

Maran need a lot less humidity, 30%.

Maran need a lot less humidity, 30%.

For the first 18 days right? I read that somewhere after I was done my hatch

What humidity do you suggest for the last 3 days?

65% at least
