incubator temp and humidity

[Soonerguy33]

So i read alot of things about temp and humidity....What should temp be and humidity be for incubating eggs?

What kind of incubator are you using? 35%-45% humidity for the first 18 days...99.8f-102.0 then on the last three days the humidity needs to be at 60%-70% and the temperature stays the same.

Temperature: 99-100
Humidity should read 86 on a standard thermometer, I'm not sure how that translates to percent.

That is for chicken eggs.

Its a lg still air incubator?..my temp right now is 99.5..humidity 42%? Is that ok...

 

[chickenlittle32]

How long have you had it running? IMO, the temp should be a little higher...

That temp is too low with a still air. Humidity may be fine for you..it's not the same for everyone. I keep mine at 50% the first 18 days and 70ish for lockdown and get very good results..41 hatched this past weekend in spite of the electric companies attempts to kill them all(1 9 hour power outage 1 half hour that I got the generator on for)
