Pekin Person Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 This is probably a silly question, but I put some eggs into the incubator (for the first time!) at about 5pm on Friday, do I count that as day 1, or Saturday? Need to know for the humidity ramp up on day 18! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The day they are put in the incubator is day 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Egluntyne is right - set day is 0, Saturday is day 1 So up humidity and stop turning the eggs on the 29th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markAndCharlene Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 The way i work it out is that it is the amount of full days in incubation. So day 1 is 24 hours after setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pekin Person Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 That's great, thanks for all your replies. Have hatched chicks with a broody before but never in an incubator - very exciting! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
