Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 How much should it turn? It's turned twice now, and from the look of it, forward then back! When I put my hatching eggs in how much water do I need to put in the centre? What temp should I set it for? and would you agree 21 days for my eggs...

Raina Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi, The ideal temp should be 37.5oc I think humidity should be at 45 - 50% not sure though,I'm pretty sure someone will come along soon to tell you! and i'm not sure about the auto turner as i think mine turned quite often,can't remember though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Raina is right with the temp if its a fan assisted inccy, some still air models need tweeking as its the temp at the top of the eggs that matters if its still air and the thermometers are not always at egg top level the eggs should be turned three times a day at least, most auto models keep them on the move slowly and constantly though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 ahh, thanks.. it's better now we have it in the right way. Yes, it's automatic. It's a good job we practised. What's the best material to use for putting down a non slip flooring for the incubator? Thanks for all replies.. just want to get everything right for when my little brood arrive.

Raina Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi, I bought some non slip car matting from Home & Bargains for 49p You could always try using some kitchen towel/tissue? (I used that first time round) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
