beingmaisie Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 That pic is my electric hen and its now nice and warm so not worried anymore. But a huge thanks to you all for the advice and puzzlement I will lower it a little before adding the fluffies. Day 19 and i am watching the incubator like a hawk. I have the humidity now at 68% when they hatch does it still need to be high for the 24 hours or so they are in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 The humididty will take a sharp rise as they hatch because the chicks are wet......mine goes up to about 75-80 then goes back down to about 65 when they dry out (then up again if another one hatches). Main thing is not to keep lifting the lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
