Hi all!
I’ve always been told 70% humidity is the ideal humidity during lockdown. In my JANOEL12 incubator, we kept it at 70% humidity, and 8/12 eggs hatched (one needed assistance) and when we cracked the others open the chicks were shrink wrapped inside.
In my Nurture Right 360 incubator, I accidentally got the humidity too high at 85%, but I decided to go with it since some chicks in the JANOEL12 were shrink wrapped.
In this incubator, 15/19 hatched (1 needed assistance because it was weak) but the others hatched fine! The 4 that didn’t hatch were already decomposing by Day 22, so I’m guessing they died during development?
I was even able to open the incubator several times and the humidity stayed very stable, and had room to drop in case of an emergency. I know these incubators are of two different qualities, but just wondering if any of you have had better experiences with higher humidity during lockdown?
Thanks in advance!
