Matt;

Often times the temps on an incubator will spike upwards when a hatch is getting ready to occur. Up till now you have hatched out very small amounts of eggs which didn't give off enough heat to affect the over-all temp inside the bator.

This is something that I noticed while using the tabletop bators that I used in the past. To combat this when the eggs were due to hatch I would drop the temp in the incubator down to 98 deg.

When doing staggered hatches many will use a hatcher that is set to a lower temp.

Since your model is forced air, opening the door should not affect the humidity for any amount of time. The humidity should come right back up after the door is shut. I would be more likely to suspect either porous shells or thin shells that is causing the eggs to shed too much humidity and that is making the chicks dry out.

When we lived in town I was losing chicks in the shell and could not figure it out. Those that did hatch were up to 4 days early and in really rough condition.

Found the problem by accident one day. I was off from work due to illness and went to get a drink of water about 3pm, there was a hole in the curtain over the kitchen window and a sliver of light was shining on the bator heating it up. Moved the baor to another room and had no more problems with it.

Hello all BYC,
Here is a list of some items to be at Blanchard Saturday
Large Rooster and Hen Throw Rug,Rooster Dish Towels, 1953 First Edition of American Standard of Perfection (note: The President of the American Poultry Association at this time was from Oklahoma City),1962 Poultry Managment book and other farm books

A consignment of Old English Bantams (Wheaton,Self Blue,Lemon Blue,and others). The Consignor is downsizing to just a few breeds. These are to come in on Friday night.

Hopefully we can get done by 11. Remember if you need to bring birds call me so I can get you log in.

This is not confirmed yet, there could be a young python. Been awhile since we have had one.

Is there a BYC member that raises Pharoah Quail? I have a guy looking to buy eggs or pharoah adult females. I will give you his number if you have some extra to sell.

Looking forward to see you all.
