104 - 106 is way too hot. I don't honestly think they will make it if you don't get the temp down.

I don't know if you would see very much change in less than a day. If you click on the sticky at the top of the incubating and hatching eggs thread there is a page in there that shows how you can tell the difference between a fertilized and unfertilized egg. There is also a lot of information that you might find helpful.

Well aside from the cracked egg i think i managed to get the tempature at a steady 100 wish me luck i really pray it doesnt go up

as far as humidity you will need to get it up 10 is way to low even for a dry incubation. have you calabratied the hydrometer yet? what are you useing for getting your humidity up? even for a dry incubation it needs to be at least 30, but i would first focus on the temp and get it stable at 99-100. can you post pics of your icubator? i am sure you have before but can you repost them please so we can see it, it will better help us help you

i did dry incubation and had no water what so ever in the bator. humidity was around 10%. i rased it to 80% on lockdown and all my chicks hatched perfectly

i have still air and the air cells shrink way to fast if its that low but then again not everyone has that problem since all incubations very somewhat

that is true, and i did notice that my air cells never changed. maybe because that was from low humidity. but all eggs hatched lol

i say do whats best to for you and your incubation if it works then do it your way lol

Good but bad news i got the tempature to stay at a steady 98 but still no luck with humidity but my incubater is homemade styroam nothing fancy just a light and cooler with thermometers/hydrometer but does the incubater have to be coverd completly i put a thin white shirt over it last night and the top is exposed a little bit but its stay at the right tempature will post pics

 

[leghornlover@123]

the tempature is 98 and it seems fine i have the top but it was making it to hard will they die if i leave them like this i dont think so wat do you guys think?
