Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[BBAcres]

My temp is right but my humidity is up to 60%. How do I lower this??

Mahonri, you crack me up! I loved the post about St. Patrick, so here's a little something for me to add in. I'm mostly Irish (my grandmother's parents came here from Ireland) and my middle name is Erin. It's the original Gaelic spelling. So every time someone says Erin Go Bragh (pronounced braith or brahch) I look.

Oh and for anyone that doesn't know, Erin Go Bragh means Ireland Forever.....my middle name is Ireland.

Do you have the plugs in the top? If so take them out?

Help! I can't stop looking at this thread!!! agggghhhh. my house is a mess, my kids are sick...i'm sick..and can't stop following this thread. And on top of it, I can't stop looking at my eggs. Still working on the bators.

Sometimes you have to open the bator to let some of the humidity out.

My best hatches have been dry hatches.

Day's 1-18,. 30-35% humidty
Days 19-Hatch. 70% humidity... and it then fluctuates up and down as the chicks hatch.


GOOD LUCK!!!

I do have the plugs in I was trying to look that up! I'll go take them out now. Thanks.

I have some awesome news!!!!! My Duck eggs from Zookeeper15133 are all viable and growing!!!!! I did not expect that from eggs shipped from western Pa to Western Mt. That's over 2,000 miles and through the postal system. But when I candled them tonight thats what I got 100% growing and developing. With all the horror stories I've been reading here I expected about 50% viability after that distance. Way to go Zookeeper15133, I think allot of it had to do with the care in packaging.

Now I guess the rest is up to me I hope I do not screw it up! I have never incubated duck eggs before!

I am so excited. I have 1 egg that's piped from my emergency incubator. And one that is almost there. Then tomorrow I have a chicken show where I am picking up my eggs for this hatch-a-long.
I hope I get some sleep in tonight
