awesome!!!!!

it is often recommended to drop temps 1 degree and raise humidity at hatching time. so saying that you will only be a couple degrees from optimum temp. Not sure if 95 will cut it but personally don't think it will be all that bad. (might be wrong there). do you have a heat pad to place on top of...

If you could get the the one up to temp and humidity and have it maintain for a couple hours do that and transfer. Another option is use a heating pad placed on top of the old incubator with a towel placed on top to hold in the heat. not perfect but works in a pinch. just monitor temps closely.

It seems as if things are stalled here so i will add an additional offer to fet things moving again Offer: 6 plus bourbon red turkey eggs.

Sweet! Congrats!!!!!

Could sell at the fair this summer. Just post an ad if you submit an entry.

I have 8 together but would not recommend doing that unless they were raised together. If you have hens involved in the mix with them you are just asking for issues. I would recommend no more than two or three in with a group of hens depending on the number of hens involved.

She is where i got some of my first serama

Leave them like this for a about 4 to 5 days then turn on the turner. when it comes time for lock down i put them in egg cartons with the top of the carton removed and the bottoms cut out of the egg cups to allow for air flow. I have found this gives me the best hatch rate form loose / detached...
