Hi all, my silkies are due to hatch on the 7th. Beginning to get very nervous now about doing everything correctly. I only have 5 eggs in my Brinsea and my silkie hens are no longer fertile (rooster removed) so they're the last chance my girls will get at being mummies! Although they won't go broody so incubator it is!
Does anybody have any knowledge or experience to share? I've found the info on here invaluable thus far and I just want to make sure I'm giving my little ones the best chance!
My temps been 37.5 degrees celsius (UK) and my humidity has ranged between 30% and 40%. I'm aiming for a dryer hatch to avoid drowning as much as poss!
Do these values seem ok? I've had advice to lockdown on day 17 as they can hatch early (they are bantams) which I'm planning on unless others disagree?
Thanks for your help so far... Hopefully with all your expertise I'll have a decent hatch!

not sure when to put them into lockdown though, day 17 or 18? Bantams tend to hatch early xxx
aha and I'm not sure but look around because there are a lot of threads on silkies so I'm sure you will find what your looking for if you just rummage through the threads
