Hi all you Louisianians! I was wondering what hatch method works best for you. I've tried it many different ways with different methods but I would like to hear from fellow southerners what hatch method you find work best. Thanks!

I tried a close to dry hatch and it worked pretty well. Added enough water to keep humidity around 30-40% (which ended up being barely any) and had good hatch rates

Was that humidity level during all stages, days 1-18, or lockdown?

Keep It 45-60. Can go 2-3 days. without regulating ; nurture right 360. Have always had more than 75% hatc rate. That goes from day 1-21. If it gets down to 35 while im gone for a couple days, within 5 min i can get it back to the range.

i also run 100° until lockdown, then drop to 99.5, wives tail I’m sure but heard higher heat kills cockerel embryos.

normaly i will put water in reservoir and hold around 65, by 3 days later its down to 35... depending on if water is cool or warm i may hit 50, 55, repeat for coupel days. By lockdown tho i am putting water in every day seeems like

And that goes from silkies to orpingtons.

Also.. day one, there outside. In the big pen , brooder box. 3 ft off ground, half enclosed so big girls can see them. Only on heat at night. After 7 days they are off heat.

Hi everyone, so I had a chick this past week that hatched and now has a wry neck. I thought maybe some of you might want to take the chick and try to nurse it back to health as I don't really have the time to and I'm going out of town soon. I have 2 silkie chicks, I'd normally sell them on my Facebook page but I'd thought I'd ask ya'll because you'd know what you're doing with the chick. I'd normally ask $8 each but since one has a wry neck I can do $12 for both. Thanks!

I've never had a wry neck chick.
