What do you do if you do not know when three days before hatch day is , a freinds hen stop setting on her eggs they were not keeping a record of hatch day . How do you know when to stop turning them they are in the incubator now .
 
after running all day, here's where the gauges are in my bator. Holding stead 100* and right about 47-48% humidity. All day long!



I'll collect eggs tomorrow afternoon and put em in!

ok so I put water in the built in 'well' in the bottom, but will use a cup of some type starting tomorrow. This is with the vent caps out, there are 8 small holes that are always open. I'm wondering, if I need to bump the humidity, put in an extra cup of water, or put the plugs in?

21 days is the guideline for when they'll hatch, so 18 is the recommended 'lockdown' but if she doesn't know the exact date she started setting, I don't think a few days makes that much difference? maybe some of these hatching guru's will chime in and set me straight if I'm wrong :)

If you need a serious bump sponges work well.
