LG still air w/out turner

[mylittlezoo]

I'm about to start a hatch in a Little Giant still air without a turner....

Am I right in thinking that temp needs to be about 101F, humidity 55% for the first 18 days then 75% up to hatch day and the eggs need to be turned three times a day?

I know a turner is more reliable, but I just thought I'd try it this way

For still air, 102 at the top of the eggs, 40-50% humidity the first 18 days, then up to 65-70. I'm in GA like you and these work well here for humidity.

Soon as I've got this test batch done, I want to try and get a batch of your Orps in there. Are your girls still laying, Speckledhen?

I have two girls still laying, but sadly, Skye isn't doing well. Her molt seems to be getting the best of herand I may lose her. Fertility is on and off, too, so not sure I would be able to get enough for you to hatch.

No worries, I'll drop you a line when I'm surer about the bator. I'm sorry about your hen... I hope she improves.

Thank you. Skye is going on 3 years old and she is my most typey hen. She just was suddenly not herself and tonight, she is in a separate pen with a heatlamp on her. I have no idea if she'll even be alive tomorrow. Dusty and Smoky are nowhere near the quality of Skye, though, with Suede, they produce some nice birds.
