NEW HATCHER HERE~!HELP!

[bensteph821]

Hi! I just fired up my GQF 1502 sportsman cabinet incubator and I guess my main question is, can you do any eggs in this incubator together at the same time? I know some eggs require different temps and humidities but I just read somewhere that with a cabinet incubator you may be able to do all of them together. And everything I read give you different temps and humidities on different websites for the same kind of egg.

I would like to do peafowl and ducks together if possible. Possibly chickens..Depending on what website you look at, the incubation is pretty close..Im going crazy looking stuff up,

figured I'd ask the experts on BYC!!

Also if anyone out there has any advice on how to keep the humidity levels steady??
Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm no where near a BYC expert, but I will try to help.

Okay, here is a link that may help: https://www.gqfmfg.com/pdf/Egg Temp Chart.pdf
Doing all of these eggs at once will most likely not work because different breeds have different requirements. Websites give you different calculations because some of it depends on your incubator. If your temperature is too high, you will get your eggs hatching faster, and if it is too low, they will hatch later.

Wait, is your humidity usually going too high or too low?

Everytime I check it , it is at a different percentage....Sometimes too low, sometimes too high..I will read the link you sent me! Thanks!
