Day 16 and babies are very active. How does on add humidity to an incubator after lock down and how many vents should be open (my incu has two big and two small vents). Thank you

How did you get your temperature so stable? Mine cycles between 97-100 I hope that its ok for the chicks to have cycle between 3 degrees. Your babies are so cute congratulations!

My temp right now is the same as yours, and i was wondering the same thing about if the whole cycle till say 18 stays between 97-100... if the eggs will be ok.

Well, two of my little silkie crosses hatched. =) I am very excited. The third egg has pipped, and the final egg isn't doing anything. I am still hopeful.

One silkie mix is black with yellow, but the other one came out silver. Lovely!

Humidity is 72% and seems perfect for hatching. Temps are about 100.
