Set Eggs 4/27 first time home made bator

[firstchicken]

Wow,I cant stay away from it,

I set four Jungle fowl eggs one sex-link and one silverlace in my home made incubator any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Temp-100-102 average but it drops a little during egg turning , humidity is between 45-60 , I plan on candling tomorrow if that is the proper thing to do

Thanks, Randy

Congratulations i no how excited you are im using 2 home made bators one is a still air one is a forced air and its great im i lockdown now so im waiting for a hatch hopefully

and unless you have candled befor its very hard to see anything early on you can cadle if you want but i'd leave it till day 7 or 10 when you would be able to see the eye and form which is easyer to do alot of the more advanced people dont candle until day 7-10

Are you using a fan? If so the temp needs to be a little lower. 99-99.5. Don't disturb the eggs until day 7. If turning by hand, do it at least 3 times per day.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
