Too late to join?

I have 2 eggs (yes, two) in my incubator.
Not very much, but I'm still excited

They are my first silkie eggs that my silkies actually laid themselves!

I set them Thursday night

I'm using a hova bator 1588 with an auto egg turner.

Jeez I think most of us are using this baby! It is nice, we've had our on for a while now checking on the humdiity it stays about 50-52% normally so thats pretty good, but I took the lid off the other day, (hadn't put the eggs in yet, going to in a bit this morning - b/c they're resting after shipment) & the humidity dropped to 25% so fast lol its crazy, but it went back up really fast the second I put the lid back on.

I think mines defective. Haha! humidity will not stay at 50%. it goes from 65% to 23% in a few hours. The temp changes a bit too.

You don't need to mess with the humidity until the last 3 days. Most hens don't have humidity under her until the last couple days and she doesn't move. My best hatches are when I use dry hatch. Good luck

 

[Drover]

Well, my last hatch ended yesterday, and I am still waiting for my eggs so exited!! Wishing everybody luck with their hatches!

 

[wahmommy]

Just finished weighing and putting my eggs in the incubator (13 ameraucana eggs and 12 black copper marans) - okay, ready set go..

 

[mstricer]

I'm glad my hen don't know how to weigh her eggs, she would demand a scale, so she won't have to run up and down the steps. Just kidding,.

 

[Chucklecluck]

Any one wouldn't happen to know if there is any hatcheries near Austin, or Bastrop Texas I would rather pick up eggs or chicks then have them shipped
