Good morning,,,,
this is 2nd time i hatched eggs im kinda new on chicken field which ifall in love once I got my first eggs 3 months ago.
I had a good rate of hatching marans and wyndottes eggs (30 marans - 35 Wyndottes) eggs been shipping by airplane carrier for 3 hrs to reach me after a day

my rate hatch was 73% for marans and 62% wyndottes, 22 x chicks for each kind

my temp. were 99.7 for 21 days - humidity 50% 1 to18 days - 65% lockdown.

next time I will try to set Humidity 40% 18 days and lock down around 55-60%.

I am very happy for my first hatching of marans

my question is 40% Humidity too low for barred rock and buff orpington eggs,? I will have those eggs with marans eggs soon.

thank in advane

Humidity is based on the developmental progress of the eggs and also your relative humidity in your house.

The general target range is 35 to 45 percent. Ideal condition and quality of health is based on hatching on day 20 and 21.
