The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

20% is too low.

Good points!
Studies have shown that going below 25% humidity increases hatch problems and chick death. Humidity has a large safe range that is between 25 and about 55% for incubation.

I would suggest 30 to 35% for eggs that seem to need air cell help.

Thanks Ron and Lisa, Yall have been doing this way longer so i bow to the experts.

Do these kind of stones work? I was thinking I had to dig around in the driveway. These would be much easier and look better.

I've seen others use them and they fit better in the small space under the screen so i hope so.

are those eggs pink, or are my eyes going goofy at 2:30am?

They are mostly a light brown. I have a Motorola Moto G phone and it Sucks to take pics with.

Having trouble keeping up with the tread here lately, but am so excited that hatching eggs will be shipped on Monday, and my new incubator should be delivered that day!

How much organic vinegar do you put in your chickens water. By the gallon. Of water? Thank you not to change the subject ?

I live in the city very close to my neighbors. If i did join the hatch club. I cant keep the roosters. I live in a house and it has a6 lane high way in front of me. The speed carscand motor cycles make a lot of noise. One of those lil speed cars come by at2 2 am. It sound like it is in my livi g room. Sometime the fire engines rattle the dishes in the house.
