Just hatched my second batch of eggs using the dry incubation method in my homemade incubator and had a 100% hatch rate. I lost the babies momma while she was brooding them and they got cold and I was for certain they were gone but a member on here convinced me to try and hatch them. I am FOREVER grateful to this awesome community!

Wow! That's amazing! I've never had anywhere close to a 100% hatch rate.

Congrats! I love dry hatching! I'm usually at 90%.

So what did you do for your dry hatch? It seems there is all kinds of variation in a dry incubation. Congrats though--I am sure it is sooooo rewarding, fulfilling and exciting!!

Thank you all. As far as the dry incubation I kept the humidity around 35% till lockdown and then bumped it up to 65-70%. My temperature fluctuated between 94-99.5.
