Lockdown Day Help

[Colberon]

Today is the day!!! I have read what seems like hours of info on hatching chicks but it seems there are varying opinions on the temp and humidity for this time, I would love to hear what has worked best for fellow chicken lovers!!

PS, this is my first ever hatch and I have a Nurture Right 360.

I keep the temperature the same as the eggs have been incubated at and bump the humidity up to 70-75% which gives me a bit of a cushion in case I need to open the incubator while the chicks are hatching.

Good luck with the hatch.

Thank you for your response, my first time and I’m a nervous reck, lol

This part is always the hardest - waiting for something to happen and hoping they'll all be ok. You'll find yourself checking the incubator constantly, just in case you can spot a pip. I've been hatching for years and I still get nervous and impatient.
