Marans and Starlights together?

[bravecoconut]

I just got six Marans and six Starlight hatching eggs. I'd love opinions if I should dry hatch them together. I haven't dry hatched before but it seems the general consensus is this is the best way for Marans. I do have two incubators but of course only using one would be preferable.

From what I'm reading, I should aim at keeping the humidity around 30% then around 55% for lockdown. Do you'll think that would work for the Starlights as well? Outside right now the humidity is ridiculous at 85% and it's not supposed to rain for a week. This isn't normal however. I do live in marshlands and am surrounded by water. My home is elevated six feet due to this. Obviously, higher humidity around me can happen often.

I'd love to hear everyone's opinions, pros and cons. They are doing their twenty four hour sit and will be going in the incubator(s) in the morning so I have a little bit of time to decide.

Thanks in advance!

"Eggs is eggs". They only issues I've had hatching is if some eggs are much larger than others.

They're pretty close in size so that isn't an issue. Do you dry hatch?

They should be fine then. I have dry hatched, it works well in my climate .

Your environment sounds like a good place for dry hatching. You should be able to hatch both type of eggs with the same conditions.

Thank you! The more I dig, the more it seems it will be fine. You see so much about Marans needing such different conditions but I can't imagine I'm the only one who wants to (or has) put everything together. I appreciate the info!
