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

Hi! Welcome and congrats!
35 is not a terrible number. If it gets too high, you can put some dry rice in a stocking inside the incubator.

Oh awesome! Thanks!

This page is great!!! I just got my first incubator today. The Hova-bator 1602N model. I didn't get the egg turner yet, but I plan to! I did get their Hydrometer. So far, I am keeping the temp steady at 99.5 pretty easily, but the humidity is 35% and there is no water in it.

Any tips?

Did you calibrate? What kind of eggs?
i think 35 is fine

Oooh good idea! Thanks!

Haha thanks for taking the time!

Oh, alright, thanks!

Chicken eggs (2 RIR's, 2 Buff Orp's, 2 Olive Eggers, and one EE). Really hoping that my Olive and EE's hatch since I recently lost those two hens. But yes, I have the hydrometer I bought from the same company and the one that came with it. Both are reading the same temp.

Oh from my picture? That was taken over a year ago, and I sadly don't have 2 of those three any more. I still have the black and white duck, but my KC and Cayuga have both went over the Rainbow Bridge. Broke my heart, too. I have since bought two more different breed ducks to keep her company, and they are all doing great! I have a large pen with a pond that they run around in. They love it! We have the three ducks, three Nigerian Dwarf goats, and 10 hens/one roo.

Sounds like you need some mini cows.
