question om hatching

[okiedrifter]

put my hatch on lock down 2 days ago its in a cabinet temp is steady at 99 forced air with 5 doz coco marin eggs and 2 dozen peafowl started with 80% humidity....this morning I woke up to a happy farm of hatched cocos and several peas

but my humidy has dropped to 74% I dont want to open the doors to rewet the sponges how far can I let it drop before I have to open the door to rewet these sponges.......I love the glass door...I can see except I really want to touch

e...

i hatch the best at 65% in a gqf 1502 so i think your humidity will be good down to there.

If there are any cracks in the cabinet (like door frames or vents, which there should be a vent for airflow somewhere!), that is how we add water... with syringes and/or straws through the cracks. But your humidity sounds ok for now.

tHOSE INCUBATOR IT OK TO OPEN, AS THE TEMP RECOVER FAST.....not like those cheap table top ones.

I think he's worried about the humidity dropping if he opens it during lockdown, rather than temps

thank you as I really need to get those cocos out and I want to love on those pea babies so bad but will wait till tomorrow morning...when I use the flashlight to check on them they come running to the front of the cabinet to check out the light... so cute they are

On cabinet incubator like , Sportsman open it to remove dry off chick doesnt hurt , i even open mine ti fill water pans, humdity and temp recover super fast. I think it may even help with peafowl , FRESH AIR.

 

[okiedrifter]

oh and I am a lady

 

[okiedrifter]
