it can actually go BOTH ways,, theres a "wet hatch" that you raise the hum. on the last 3 days,,, and a "dry hatch" where you dont raise it above 40%,,, I THINK,,, ive never tried the dry hatch yet,, but some swear by it.

I've never done the dry hatch until the long ordeal thats been going on with Miss Lulu's eggs. I had to take her remaining and put them in the bator. She had hatched two on her on and another hen was laying in the nest while she was setting. I had to make Lulu come off the nest and care for her biddies on day 4. Her eggs in the bator I had no idea what day they were on and have other eggs in there so raising the humitity was a gamble so I didn't. All the 7 eggs that hatched did fine although I was prepared for chick with stuck shell and everything. Thank goodness it didn't happen.

Happy hatching everyone!!!!

This is why I use the egg carton method when hatching time comes. Egg carton method is when you remove the eggs from the turner and place them small end down in an egg carton instead of on their side. Then they zip at the top and pop out like pop corn. Then the hatched ones can't roll the ones still in the egg. Lot of time it is believed that the hatched ones rolling those eggs will cause the ones left in the eggs to drown or become confused and not pip. So low hatch rate. You can do a search there are tons of threads on here somewhere.

You have to watch because once in a while you have one pip at the wrong end so you just rip some of the carton away or lay just that one on it's side.

I have very good hatches even in the LG's, I have 2 LG's and 2 Hova's 1588

A little bit of a bad note here guys. The last egg that hatched that I had to take from Miss Lulu #7 has slight spraddle leg in one leg. I beleive I'll be able to get her fixed up because it not a bad case but still you don't want to see it. Wish me luck and happy hatching for everyone along with happy thankgiving!
