INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

What humidity are you running during incubation? I'm guessing southern hemisphere since it's getting colder were you are.

At the moment it's been hanging around 56% in the incubator according to the terrarium thing. The hatcher is telling me 38%. Different entities though.

You'd think that bird would be bright enough to get in out of a snowstorm 

Ya think?

Sooner or later I am going to say something too clearly.

Most people will run the incubator somewhere in the 30's and the hatcher right around 70%

HUMIDITY Humidity is NOT a set number!

Its a tool to get the correct weight loss in the egg! post #7068 see Hatching Eggs 101

You have no idea how... You have no idea.

And I certainly can't say here! But you said you have a short fuse, and I said I wouldn't tick you off. So, what would you like me to explain? I will tell you.

Never heard of a bitzer before...

bitzer this, bitzer that.
I think she's rhode island red x Essex x Silkie x bantam Australorp x ???. She's just a smallish white-ish generic looking chicken with 5 toes, but a real potent genetic cauldron.
Speaking of which we have a black supposedly pure Australorp who matured into a furnace rump-less roo with a sort of pea comb. It's like a triple comb with the outer two extending past the nostrils. We also had until recently a Pekin x Essex hen that anyone would swear blind was a fantastic rooster. She's living with someone else now because she was dominating the other roos.

Ouch I have had 2nd degree sunburn with blisters and scabs before it was really 3rd degree in some places. Talk about miserable. They make an aloe with I think its lidocaine in it that is called ice or something it's wonderful and better if you keep it refridgerated.


I am definitely more of a albino/tomato person lol I wish I could tan more DH2B gets so tan during the summer(a farmer) that he looks Latino. Lol hope our kids get his complexion someday.

Hi Dear been crazy busy lately but I wanted some help if you can. The incubator was running about 28% humidity which I'm fine with BC the eggs are a bit behind due to the stagger, but we got rain last night and the humidity jumped up to 37% and even higher. I have two small bowls of rice in the bator but is there something else I can do?

I can believe miserable!! not sure what to tell you, I wouldnt worry at 37 whats the weather looking like???
