Temp

[Ole Mule]

At what temp do you maintain with a hova bator that has an automatic turner and a circulating fan. What about humidity.

Hatching chicken eggs.

Thanks for any help

You should run at 100 degrees. The temp will fluctuate a small bit but the average temp should be 100. humidy about 55%

But then at day 18 take them out of the turner and increase humidity to 60-70% you can do this by adding a new damp sponge, or wet a wash cloth. Goodluck. Oh and take turner out of the bator and lay the eggs etheir in a egg carton or on the wire mesh. Goodluck again.

This is what I understand now run at 100 degrees humidity about 55% do not disturb other than to maintain humidity then at day 18 take them out of the turner and increase humidity to 60-70% do this by adding a new damp sponge, or a wet wash cloth. Then on day 18 take turner out put eggs in an egg carton hole in bottom of egg carton for air circulation big side up and leave a lone until majority hatch.
