I am on day 5ish and I candled some of my silkie eggs, and well
I see fertility!! now..question is what specific thing should I do to help them hatch successfully, I read alot of...non-hatch but fertile stories and now i'm a little scared. I know to bump up the humidity 60-70% day 18(Edit:I knew that XD) and no more turning, what else should I do? They are right now in egg cartons, and to turn them I'm turning the whole incubator.
would the hatch rate be better if i take them out of the egg carton and lay them on their sides after day 18(I knew that)? or just leave em be...(sorry I bet you guys hear this question alot) I would just like to know some personal experiences
Also depending on how much hatch, I think i may need to give some silkies<chicks/teens> away lol, who wants to be on that list? just raise your hand
its free, just pay for shipping
...or free shipping depending how close you live!
