I made a DIY still air incubator and am on day 16 of great looking growing chicks from our own chickens. In a couple days for lockdown, what is the ideal temp and Humidity for this style? I was going to do 65 and 101f.
should I add more holes for ventilation and air? If so where and how big? I have one hole above the bulb as shown. The humidity and temp staypretty stable. I just don’t want to mess up this hatch as my first time.
Also if the humidity drops during those few days can I drop a straw in a vent hole and add a bit more warm water?
many answers and other advice really helps!! Thanks! I am watching these eggs like a hawk and have been hand turning every 4 hours.
