What temp and humidity works best in a HovaBator?

I'll be glad when some of my hens go broody. Then they can deal with all this. lol My little Bantam hens always seem to have the best results with hatching any eggs. Thought I'd give this a shot though, so I can control the hatch and eggs a bit better. Thanks again.

Could not agree with you more... Although this is a fun hobby, which i am very much addicted to.. Its stressful.. and EXPENSIVE.. Broody hens are better at hatching then us, their babies have less deformities/problems, they teach the babies everything they need to know in life, they learn socialization with larger birds so they are not as scared when introduced to the "pecking order" later on, etc, etc.. Such a better process.. My silkie Momma beats me ANYDAY of the week.. and i have 2 Genesis Hovabators with turners, and i still cannot touch her hatch results!! (95-100% for her, and about 65% for me.) This is natures way of humbling us..

Nature always knows best.

Your videos are so cute. Love the little Silkie and her babies. I have a Partridge Silkie Roo and Hen. Hope they make some chicks for me.
