*********Incubating*************

How many of yall used dry incubation?? How many of yall used regular incubation?? What were the results of each?? Which method should I use??

I use the LG el-cheapos with no fan and a hovabator w/o the fan, too.

I have great success and use no moisture at all- don't even use a hygrometer- until day 18, when they go into a hatcher with 70% humidity and steady temps. Works 90% hatch rate or more on local eggs, 55-80% on mailed eggs, depending on time of year.

I'd love to have RComs, but then I'm never going to be able to afford those since I like to hatch 60-200 chicks at a time.

I use dry. I've tried several hatches doing it both ways....dry just works best for me. Best advice is to give both a try and see which one is best for you. Good luck!!!

thanks for the advice. I will definatley do both and compare the two!
