Utah!

I'm on day 4 of my first incubation and I have been at 50. I will turn it up to 65 at lockdown. I hope this works and I hope other successful Utah folks will chime in.

I let my humidity sit around 25% to 30% during the first 18 days then bump it up to 65% to 75% at lockdown. IMHO 50% is a bit high during incubation.

Thanks, my gut is telling me that 50% is too high. Do you have a Styrofoam bator? Fan? What has your hatch rate been?

So I am setting these eggs in the incubator I got last night. It has been running since I brought it home and it has held a temperature of 100 with no fluctuations so I'm going to try it out with my own eggs. I was going to add some pure salmon faverolle eggs in there with them but I had to get the eggs in the bator tonight because some eggs have been sitting for a few days. After these hatch I'm going to get a dozen salmon faverolle eggs and and a dozen marans eggs and try those ones out. I'd really love to find some polish eggs to hatch. Anyone know of someone who has them? Wish me luck on this hatch thanks again sphinx for the incubator! I wonder what color of eggs a blue and green mixed with the faverolle egg color could be?

Good luck!!!

Here is my very first teeny, tiny, egg that hatched (button quail) next to a quarter and regular coturnix quail eggs

So cute! I hope to one day have all sorts of fowl. And lizards

okay everyone I need your chicken expertise. My friend inherited this flock from her uncle, they are about a quarter the size of other chickens and their eggs are about the size of large quail eggs. Are they serama, or bantam game fowl.

Hey guys I have an issue and I have a thread in the emergency forum but I wanted to ask you all do you think this is a vitamin deficiency. This little silkie was walking fine and then started doing this. . . .

I have a Brinsea Eco 20. It is forced air and I've had an average of about 70% but the first hatch I did was all luck 100% no joke. The second was a bust at 20% and then it sort of even out. Dry incubation is a learned art. You have to get it right for your area and here in the dry desert a dry hatch is different from one in Iowa's 70% humidity. I just try to keep mine in between that 20 to 30 percent range and it works out pretty well. I've never had shrink wrapping or drowning.
