The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

[BantyChooks]

OK. Sooo. I am using a new (to me) Styrofoam incubator for this HAL, and to be honest, I have no clue how I should regulate it. It is a still air. What temperature? Humidity?

101.5 TOP of egg, humidity same as whatever works in your other one. I run 30%.

Thank you! Little Giant 10200 (I think?)

Tell me it ain't so... You really got one of them??

Good luck. You'll need it.

I was just coming back from the notes with 30%. I can't go off how I hatch because of conditions out of my control, so my humidity is whatever it happens to be in the room that day, before day 18 that is. Never drops below 25%. Gotta love southern humidity.

If it weren't for the HALs, I'd have no excuse to set hundreds of eggs...

I keep considering throwing a bantam egg in the bator just to see if it's fertile. And then I think I don't need a chick/waste electricity on one egg.

Hahaha I have totally been there

I was looking forward to doing my 2nd Easter hatch a long, til the coop threw a wrench in my plans.... <<Sigh>>

Definitely next year though.

Quote: I've done it every year since my second year here on BYC. I was just a few weeks shy of the first one and I didn't have a bator at that time. I think this is my 5th year doing the EHAL since I'll be getting my 6 year badge next month.
