Incubation Chart

[saddina]

Just stumbled on this in a search and thought someone else could use info.

I had printed out an incubation chart back in April, and now I can't find the link, so I put it together here as a quick reference. Several species have special quirks (like waterfowl), so it's best to double check the specifics, but this is the general chart that I had. If you stay within the ranges, you should be fine. And of course, this may not be 100% correct, and I wouldn't know because I haven't hatched more than 5 different species so far

so if something needs to be corrected, please just PM me and let me know.
Just a note, you'll find by looking at the list that most of the temps/humidities are the same for all eggs... it's just the incubation period that changes. How simple is that?

FORCED AIR temps... for STILL AIR, add ~ 2°F to the temps.

46-56 days 35-55% humidity (~40%) 96-99.5°F for forced air (~96.5°F) 3-5 days before expected hatch, decrease temp 1°F, and increase humidity 5-10%
