I tried incubating my first batch of eggs. I thought everything was normal, but day 21 came and went. It is now day 23. Should I start over? Please let me know what the temp and humidity should be. I did alot of research on the net, thought I did everything right. I tried candling them, but with brown eggs it was really hard to tell. I got the eggs on ebay. They did spend acouple to many days in the cold mail, maybe just bad eggs???? Should I open the eggs to see what happened? So many questions, Sorry and Thanks for the help?
99.5 temp, 80%humdity or higher, depending on your temp, 1degree up or down could effect hacthing, 1 degree cooler could add a day or two to the hatch. If I have the right temp and humditity the whole time I still wait at least three days after 21.
99.5 for forced air incubator but 102 for still air. Humidity depends on if you want to do the dry hatch or what the incubator manufacturers recommend. 80% would be too high though and your chicks would drown.
day 23 its possible they are still alive if you open themopen them from the top at the air cell so if they are alive you dont kill them
