I have decided to plunge into incubating some eggs from my hens.for those who incubate eggs, how high do you aim for your humidity to be? I have read posts where some recommend 40-45%, 50-55, 60-65 up to day 18 then up to 70%. What has worked for yall here in Louisiana?

I do the same as Pam.

I posted a video of my pullet Emily's progress. I don't know if I'll ever feel confident putting her back with the flock. But she's doing well as a house chicken!

Awww, Emily has that little step-hop going on. Does it seem to hurt her to put weight on it at times? I am doing dressing changes nightly to one of my hens and am enjoying the foot soaking time with her. She is relaxing more with me but outside she is still skittish.

I'm not sure if her leg hurts or not. I know that she's not usually in the same place in that big kennel when I go in for laundry. She's moving around a lot on her own, so I guess it's not too bad? Otherwise it just seems like she would just park it beside the feed.

Nice Camping. Looks like she is coming along. She looks like the bird in your avatar.
