Beautiful bunch of eggs! I am looking forward to seeing what the olive egger chicks look like from that cross. Good luck with your hatch!

Thanks! They came from BYCer Aceschix, I'm really looking forward to the hatch. I just realized that my original post said the eggs went from CT to NH, but it was the other way around. Never post before morning coffee!

My temp is steady @ 99.5-100 and humidity has been ~40% with both wells filled. (Octogon 20). This is my first attempt at hatching so hopefully this numbers are appropriate? I have just started day 3, so no candling yet.

My temp is the same, Im trying to keep the humidity between 40-50, but I see a lot of varying opinions on this, so I hope this is right.

No candling here yet, starting day 2. Im ready for them to hatch already!

can i start eggs in the incubator a few days apart (different shipments) without sacrificing hatch rates?

i'm going to be using an incubator that requires manual turning.

my question is really about humidity levels and if they are different at different times in the process.

i'm reading different things about humidity levels and would appreciate input.
