Great thanks for the info, ours seemed to all be laying before winter. They started at 6-8 months. We do have some smaller girls that lay smaller eggs. Since we culled our second in command roo our fertility rate has dropped, it was almost 90%, now I would guess it is about 60%.
Great thanks, I can hardly stand it! So eggicited!

Have either of you done the dry hatching method?

Hi! No I've not tried the dry hatch method I have a pump for the humidty so I just set for 45% and the pump keeps it right, but I believe many try to keep the humidty above 25% for the first 18 days. I think a lot depend on how humid your area is, time of year etc. Checking air sac growth too during incubation so if you did need to you can add water. Are you thinking of giving it a whirl?

I am, I was reading the dry hatch page here on BYC learning center. I like the idea of being able to add water if needed, not start with it and hope you don't drowned them. That being said, Colorado is a dry climate. However, I have a hygrometer above the bator and it reads 42% so not horrible. I am needing to read the thread for high altitude hatching and see what the recommendations are for that.
