Welcome to the poop coup! Starting out with teenage girls….You like a challenge - just kidding. Having fresh eggs will be delightful.

10 chicks out of 13hatched. One was a early quiter (before day 18). 1 pipped but did not go further.never finished. One never pipped. I believe that makes a 76% hatch rate.

Hello MarleyBob, welcome. Chicks are a blast. Prepare to be addicted.

Welcome to the wonderful world of chicken and other fowl. Be careful of chicken math, it’s for real.

I just finished dry hatching in a Maticoopx 30 and the temp was 99.5- 99.9. The bigger temp was reached during hatching. Humidity for first 18 days was 25%~30% with no water. Lockdown we brought it to 45-55% humidity by adding water to the smallest of two reservoirs. During hatching as...

Wow pipdzipdnreadytogo, you sure have a lot going on! I hope things work out.

The Meed looks similiar to a Nurture Right. Using an egg carton may not work due to the size. I understood to manually turn eggs you place an O on one side and an X on another and just turn them back and forth. As already mentioned if the incubator has a fan you can hatch at 99.5 Fahrenheit...

In the past I did not k on about “dry” hatching. I tried the last 21 days. First 18 days. It water temp 99.5-99.7 and humidity 23% - 30%. Day 18 added water in the first of two chambers (Maticoopx 30). Got the humidity up to around 50%. When hatching started the humidity would jump up into...

Here are two more. The one in the back has a dark head. There is another that have even darker. He is quick and I could not catch him. I do not want frighten them.
