Speaking of humidity, is there a reccomeded humidity level for when you set them? Sorry if this question is answered in Hatching 101. But i went through and did not see anything.
I mean i get humidity is a tool for controlling the aircell but what do you set it at in the beginning?

Its covered in the Humidity section of the notes. Usually start out 30-35%

OMG you have been reading!!!

it depends on your eggs air cells and size eggs and sometimes even breed.

I think most of us will recommend starting around 30% and candling day 7 and starting to adjust, you can do so at day 5 but must of our colored eggs are hard to see in then... so day 7 candle

not sure he posts all over the place, I had a few of his posts open they all said the same thing
dawgg ~fenbendazole 10% suspension liquid goat wormer, kills gapeworm too....3cc/ml per gallon of water. The fenbendazole paste equine wormer is "pea" size amount for each chicken.

Quote:
Stop! Fenbendazole paste is not water soluble, it must be given orally!

It must be given orally, and the dose is *much* more than a pea size amount. A pea size amount has only 25 mg.

From left to right:
Small = 10mg ( .1cc) = enough for a 200 gram (7 ounce) bird at 50mg/kg
Medium = 25mg (.25cc) = enough for a 500 gram (17 ounce) bird at 50mg/kg
Large = 50mg ( .5cc) = enough for a 1000 gram (35 ounce) bird at 50mg/kg
50 mg/kg for 5 days is what my vets and other vets have recommended.



Everyone, I like Dawg53 a lot, but the recommendation of 3 cc in the water is unlikely to treat any worms. Same is true for the infamous "pea size" amount. A five pound hen should get ~115 mg, not 25 mg.




Capillary worms









This chick had 3 cc Safeguard in the water:


Those are roundworms, the easiest of all the worms to kill.
