Temperature during hatching?

[maud_21]

Hello all, I've had my eggs in the incubator, on day ten now. I've had the temp between 37.8 and 38 Celsius and was just wondering does this need to change for lock down?

I've previously incubated eggs only once and had a quite poor hatch rate (25%) so any help would be greatly appreciated!!

For Lockdown,,, You just discontinue the turning,, and try to increase the humidity. (if you can)
Your poor hatch rate can be due to different factors.
Eggs not fertile
Shipped eggs, got a roller coaster ride
You are assuming the temperature is accurate. Best to have additional thermometers, and hygrometers around,, to make sure the temp and humidity is correct.


WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

Thank you, yep I'll stop the turning and can easily increase humidity. I've got a second of each of the instruments in the incubator so just hoping it's doing what it should now!!
