Thanks Mike.

Chris, I agree with Mike. I don't have near as many varmints as Mike, so it only took 1 hour for me.
 
no, kuntrygirl, I don't have that. But humidity is important in getting an egg to be incubated and hatched. Many sites about incubating your chicken or duck or guinea or quail eggs, all require a measurement of the humidity in the air around the egg. It is a process best obtained from using a pie tin and filling it with water. you add more water if needed, and reduce if it's too much before you put the eggs in...

My first 6 hatchlings, I got pics on my profile and on a new forum I put, cuz no replies on the pics within... They were all hatched by mommy bird. I dont have an incubator now.
 
I dry hatch all my eggs, and I have great hatch rates. I just fill the reservoirs on day 18. I do mist my waterfowl eggs though. Don't know if that helps or not. You really don't need that humidity pump IMO

I called them to today and the person that I talked to said that you put water in it when you first put your eggs in and when you see that the water is evaporating, then you add more water.

So, when you say "dry hatch", do you mean that you don't have water in there every day? :idunno

Thank you for the information. :)
 
Hi, all! My hubby and I have been trying to get everything done so we can finally get some chicks! The fence is complete and we should finish our coop and run next weekend. So exciting!

So....now I need to find some chicks! I don't want to order from a hatchery because my children may want to show them. I've heard that many hatchery birds don't do well for exhibition; besides, I would prefer to get them from someone local if possible. My wish list is below. Will any of you have any of them available soon? I would like to end up with around 20 hens, so I know I will need quite a few more chicks to be sure I end up with that many.

Australorps
Buff Orpingtons
Sussex - Light or Lavender
Plymouth Rocks - partridge or silver penciled
Wyandottes - would LOVE to have golden laced or blue-laced red with deeper mahogany coloring! I was going to order some chicks from Foley's, but I'm hoping to find someone near me that has them.

If anyone has hatching eggs rather than chicks, I would be willing to buy a bator! Anybody?

Thanks!
