That's awesome! Do you have any secrets... something you should share?

How often did you candle? did you have any temp spikes? What kind of incubator are you using?

LOL i have 2 LG bators and they work so good for me half the time i don't even need to keep an eye on the temp

temp stays between 99.5 and 100

i only candle twice at day 7 and day 18

i had a few temp spikes but it was only like 2 or 3 degrees low or high no harm done

lol i will most definitely

and nope it's just a block to hold down the wire mesh because it bends in the middle causing everything else to slide and fall so the block holds it all down

as for humidity on day 18 i just fill all the water trays with warm water and keep the temp at 100 and the humidity stays around 64% and when the first chick hatches the humidity jumps up to about 75% for the remaining hatch

Awesome, noted and thank you... I will start incubating my 1st batch tonight. Playing with temp and humidity right now and will let run until 7pm before adding the eggs.

O-yea almost forgot, so you know along with the New Hampshire roos I also have 2 EE Roos the the New Hampshire hens as well

Wayyyy cool! Very nice on your 100% hatch! I'm waiting on my first hatch on the 15/16 and am trying to not expect too much but obviously, hoping for just as fantastic results!
