Lockdown tips/info needed

Yeah, I'm thinking if you had humidity up at 80% you might have drowned them. We all live and learn though, so don't kick yourself.

I just set 12 fancy silky eggs we went to get from a breeder today that had an emergency sale. Otherwise, I was planning not to hatch any until spring, as now these have to live in the brooder in the house through the winter. What was I thinking lol.

Anyway, I set it how I always do and just play it safe. 99.5F, 40-50% humidity until lockdown, then pull the turner and crank up the humidity to 60-70% but no higher than that. Once you get this down to having success in your incubator in your home, you'll be set from then on!

Good luck on your hatch that’s exciting!! And yes I’ll keep it as is and see. They’re at 21 days today! There’s 5 in there so hopefully I can get like 2-3 to hatch.
