I candeled this morning. This is my first try, so anything is great, above 50% would be amazing. It is 10 days and I have struggled leaving the incubator alone. So far I have lost:
3 Bantam Cochins
3 Blue Andalusians
3 Sumatras
1 Mix
1 Duck
I have 2 that I put a question mark on to see if it changes in a few days, if not they need to go. About half of my bad ones had blood rings, the other half never started.
I am using a LG still air. I have a LG thermometer and a digital Therm/Hygrometer in as well. I have been pulling one plug in and out to maintain temps. I have not added water, the humidity had bounced between 35% to 55% since day one. I have the turner as well. I will up the water level with sponges on day 18 for lockdown. The idea of walking away and letting it work is what I am stuggling with.
I started with 37 eggs, I am down to 26. With 5 of the chickens eggs never starting, I have only really lost 5 during the process. I am very happy with my results so far. Now if I can only get all 26 into a brooder.
