Ok so I have some bcm on my other bator and it's reading 32. That will be ok? I'm so confused, Ive hatched about 100 chicks and been doing it all wrong.

We don't mean to imply that you are doing it 'all wrong' with your hatching methods. We just think that we can offer you some ideas for improvement. There are many of us on this site that have learned a lot of things about chickens using many different methods and learning from them all.

Oh I don't mind. That's why I posted bc I've never seen this. I would love to know the correct method before I start hatching this spring more inportant chicks.

There really isn't a 'set' way to hatch them. Everyone has to figure out what works best in their own incubator. I don't add water to my incubator at all. When the eggs go to the hatcher, the humidity is about 55% there. I have good hatches like this, but it might not work for someone else. It's all a learning process at first until you find what works for you

Bigsprings, are you on line now?

I keep my incubator at 99. Temp from set to hatch is 55-60%. It works very well for me,.. I hatch both silkies and LF in the bator, and other than silkies hatching a little sooner (they seem to race to get out of the egg) everything hatches great.
