Wow. Ya'll have a lot of variety!! I just have 12 red golden eggs in. With the luck I had on the last batch, I'm not expecting much. Oh well, I'll get it down pat one day!!

Thanks - that's what I'm trying to find. The temp is consistent 99.5 - might alter just a bit when I crack it open to turn them though for a few seconds...not as long as a hen would leave for a drink but still...! I've not found what the humidity *should* be...so am guessing. And somewhere there was mention of hatching standing up to increase hatching...but not sure what that is or how to do it. Turning about 8-noon - 4 - 8 pm (read 3-5 times per day - more than the 2x for chickens). June 3 will be 20 days (counting day put in the bator)....so have marked it to stop turning them then.

i keep mine about 60 percent until lockdown, then i boost it up to 75 or so. As far as standing them up that is in relation to placing them in egg cartons during lockdown. they are placed small end down. Personally in my batora with autoturners, i just let them like they are. In my others i just let them on their sides and have good results.

Thanks so much!

Just candled my new eggs and it looks like maybe 6 out of the 24 are either not developing or *might* have a blood ring. I will wait until Sunday to check them again. The rest look stellar!
