Hello...looking for some advice from resident experts!
We obtained some hatching eggs for a Xmas present for my daughter for her first year of 4h showing birds. Put them in the incubator(brinsea 20) and after a week candled them...come to find out they were all duds except 2/3.
Talked to the kid we obtained them from and he was kind enough to give me another dozen( daughter really wanted bantam wyandottes! or silkies, we went wit the Wyandottes)
So now I have a staggered hatch in there...having a tough time as it with humidity. ranging between 35-50...cant seem to get it to stay at 40. So dry in our house it sucks the humidity out quick.
How do I deal with lockdown or hatch with only the one incubator? I have a brooder ready to go for them ( due to hatch on 12th)
Any tips?
thanks
