My silkies are not friendly. Hopefully if one of the two eggs I set hatch they will be friendlier. My mom convinced me to put in the eggs tonight so five eggs from my other hens and 2 silkie eggs. I have the temp about 100 f and I don't know the humidity I just went with the directions and filled 2 of the channels in the bottom. Will candle Friday night or Saturday. So exited!

Your eggs aren't to far away. I hope they reach you soon and in good shape!

Hi what incubater do you have? Ive got a brinsea 40 and dont know my humidity either. I just go by instructions and fill 2 of the channels for first 18 days and then fill all 4 channels for the last 3 days, ive always had a great hatch too. Did shrink wrap one but that was my mistake.. My 3 year old nephew used to get the silkies out the incubater and play with them so thats probley why there so tame, or in shock lol...

Its a little giant something. Its from tsc. I am having a little trouble keeping the heat where I want it, but hopefully it all works out. Though after last night my mom is going to say bye bye roosters (which if this batch doesn't work out I will need lol) .built a coop for our two silkies cause they were in a pen in the coop and unable to get outside. Well she made the mistake of putting the coop right outside her window. Since about 6:30 every 2-4 minutes he crows. She is going to be anti silkie roo and I need him for more eggs lol

I have the TSC little giant also. My temp is doing fine it the humidity thats got me crossing my fingers. I followed the directions it just doesnt seem very humid in there when I go to turn the eggs.

Well the tracking changed

The Guinea eggs are out for delivery

. I'm hoping a one day different will be ok, they'll just go into lock down a day early.

No it doesn't seem humid at all for me either. I got the egg turner. My question is how to I change the water. Can I just take the turner out fill it quick then put the eggs back in?

Good question, I would assume you could lift the turner out and add water unless they added specific direction in the turners manual.

 

[a123andpoof]

Exact same directions as what came with the incubator -_- so it may be a two person job lol

 

[aprille218]

Use a turkey baster or a flower watering can with a long narrow spout. Use warm water. You can move or remove an egg temporarily if you need to to fill up the little troughs just put it back asap

Got my Guinea eggs ! Luckily I was watching the tracking because this morning it said out for delivery, then it changed to "left notice" but when I went down to the mailbox their was no notice. So I went to the P.O and of course the lady was like " Oh they should have called you". Yeah I know, but they didn't. So yeah luckily I watched the tracking otherwise who know how long I would have waited. So now I have them in a tray to settle then I will set them either before bed or in the morning.
