Question about humidity and temp for lockdown...

[silkiechick05]

I am attempting a "dry hatch"

Right now I am incubating at 99.5˚ with 45%-50% humidity.

With that said, what should the temp and humidity be for lockdown when it comes around??

My temp usually stays right around 100 and the humidity should be 60-65%. This is what I aim for but my hygrometer broke.

Bump!!

I do the same:
temp 99.5-100degrees
humid 65 and up(once they start hatching it goes up naturally)
I used scotch tape to cover my vent holes to better control my humid.
I also did the egg carton method and LOVED it!!!

It just really seemed to help them get out faster with the egg being stabilized. And after watching my broodies hatch out chicks I think it makes alot of sense. After all, when big Mama hen is laying on her eggs they are surely not rolling around under there.
Anyway, happy hatching!!!

It's sooo wonderful to watch them hatch! Blessings, Keri
