Egluntyne Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I suggest you read the guides to hatching at the top of the section, and as was mentioned in your other thread, contact the manufacturer of the incubator for advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Incubators vary enormously so its always best to check out what the maker of the machine recommends I dont use any water in my incubators til day 18 and find this works best for me I recommended a digital thermometer on your other thread, you can get them that also measure and display the humidity too With a cheap incubator its worth investing in a proper digital thermometer/hydrometer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hennyjenny Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 http://www.brinsea.co.uk/free-downloads/ The link takes you to a page where you can download the Brinsea incubation handbook. I found this really helpful. hygrometer and digital thermometer is a good idea. Many people incubate first 18/19 days with no water as the ambient humidity in this country is high enough anyway. They find their hatch rates are highter. Candle at 10 days as easier to see development. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
