G’Day from down under Irene Welcome!

Sorry, I only have experience with hatches under a broody hen but I hope these links to some appropriate forum(s)/thread(s) are of assistance:

Hi Irene and welcome to BYC. Teila has given you some great links. The only advice I'd give is to do a couple of test runs with your incubator to help get the settings correct for optimal hatch rates, before putting expensive eggs in there. Also, I've no come across the use of a fan in a brooder so do s little more reading before you go that route.

Including your general location, under your avatar will help other members to give the best advice possible for any future input / questions that you may have.

Best wishes
