Quote: I have 3 hovabators and now a sportsman 1502 for incubating and another hovabator that's a dedicated hatcher, PLUS a GQF 1550 hatcher now. so total incubating capacity is now more than my marriage could survive. LOL

dry incubation! humidity during hatching varies depending on the breeds involved but usually 50-60% for hatching in the summer, up by 5% in the winter.

With that kind of capacity, you could drown in poultry.

I conveniently do not have a spouse to be the voice of reason, but I only have so much space for incubators and brooders. I seriously need a barn.
