Quote:you know I never did the conversions for still air on that! I pray someone did that for him ughhhhhh sometimes I could pull hair out!! I should have put that down too!!That is rude Chaos. Chickenhawk is switching from a incubator with a fan to a hatcher without one and wants to be sure of the temperatures since it is different and since Sally Sunshine has recommended a temperature reduction at lockdown in general. So she has 2 issues to concider and it can be confusing. 1. Temperature of the still air are higher than the forced air (fan). But 2. You are going to reduce the temp during lockdown. So just how much should that be with both things going on?
I don't know the answer and I don't remember that particular question being answered in what I have read of Sally's so far. I just may have not got to it yet.
Stop turning, Remove Turner and Raise Humidity to 65% - 70%
depending on what your air cells may still need
[COLOR=008080]NOTE: It is now known that the different embryos communicate with each other by a series of clicking sounds,
the rate of clicking being the important feature. Ensuring the eggs on the hatching trays are in contact with each other facilitates
the synchronization of hatching where the eggs are incubated in a modern machine. This assists in reducing the time between when the first and last chicks hatch.[/COLOR]
After Day 18 candle you will “LOCK DOWN” your eggs. Lower the temperature see suggest temps below and increase the humidity the last three days. STOP turning and the incubator stays closed, for the next three days while the chicks hatch! If you’re having a hard time with humidity it is OK to open quickly to boost, add warm water or increase the size of the pan or add a wet sponge. [COLOR=FF0000]NEVER ADJUST HUMIDITY BY cutting back airflow.[/COLOR] VENTILATION is EXTREMELY important at this stage!
Researchers have found that lowering temperatures will prolong incubation,
HOWEVER it is favourable to do so at the end of incubation.

Day 21 Temp Min 97 Max 98.0[/COLOR]

Lets see if this works right?u
YES but thats fan model!!! I hope someone converted to still air!!! dang and I cant even spell favoruable how is that spelled anywayts?
sweeeettttttI saw life in one of my little phoenix eggs!!!
