Still air or forced air incubator? Still air calls for 102*.I tried to keep the temp at 99.5 sometimes it went down to 98 but I would adjust the temp back up.
I didn't measure the humidity, I had water in the bottom of the incubator and put in a bowl full, when it said to up the humidity I put in a second bowl.
The eggs came from my chickens, we had to get rid of our rooster so we decided to hatch some of his babies! I would put them in the incubator daily.
I had the chick in a 10 gallon fish tank, I goggled how to build a brooder and it said a fish tank was suitable.
I had medicated chick starter food. and water in the brooder, but she hadn't eaten or drank.
she was fully hatched from her egg around 8:30pm last night and still could not stand by the time she passed.
I still have 3 eggs in the incubator and I am not going to touch them for a few days and see what happens.
Hello hdolloffI put the eggs in the incubator daily when i got them from the coop, I read that it didnt matter, they would hatch 21 days from the last egg put in. The last eggs were put in on November 29th. That would make 21 days December 20th. the book I got with the incubator said 99.5 degrees, and there was a mark at 99.5 on the thermometer. The incubator says "still air"
You have some incorrect information there. You must start the entire batch incubating at the same time, not put them in daily.I put the eggs in the incubator daily when i got them from the coop, I read that it didnt matter, they would hatch 21 days from the last egg put in.
