The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Joshua G]

Ok for the life of me I can't remember the correct humidity for these eggs.

I'm not doing a "dry hatch" so what humidity would be right?

I do 60 to 62 percent, with a still air.  

Thanks!

What a neat mix.  Post a photo when she is all fluffed up. 

I won't be able to get a good picture of her until at least tomorrow but this is Fria. She's a silkie/Marans mix that a broody hatched out in November. She's the sweetest thing Obviously, she inherited the wheaten gene from my roo.

Here she's hanging out with her "sister" Flurry who is a pure wheaten Marans

in the bator, 3 Marans, 2 olive eggers, and a marans/brahma have pipped so far

This for lock down, just read your post again, are you talking about .. during incubation? I keep it around mid 30's during..then I go to the 60 to 62 percent for lock down.

Love the ones with the tops like that one. I now have a blue one out there. Bought some sizzle eggs, got one that is small with what I call, a woodpecker top. Pretty cute. Yours are pretty cute.

Oh yeah, I'm only on day 19...a way to go yet.
I'm going to be alright.

Everybody have a great Sunday. Enjoy.

My hatch is on day 19 too, but once I put them for lock down, it's hard not to hover over the bater. I have a long work day tomorrow. I am selfish and like to be there to watch them hatch....

I meant during incubation and lockdown.

I knew it was somewhere in the 1-100% humidity range.

I knew it was somewhere in the 1-100% humidity range.

For the first 18 days, I use 30 to 40%. For the last three days, I use 65 to 70%.
