    I'm with you on average humidity. A hen that's sitting eggs for 15-20 days will have dryer, cooler and even rainy days. It will average out in nature as well as indoors.

  • @mosaicfarm2389
    @mosaicfarm2389 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great info... I just hatched out chickens and ducks in a cabinet incubator built from your plans.... One thing I did to improve my hatch rates is weigh a few of the eggs every 3-4 days to make sure they are loosing the appropriate amount of weight. Most eggs should loose 13%-14% by lockdown. I also put a little hot tap water in the water tray if I have to open the incubator during lockdown and it brings the humidity up quickly.

    That makes things a bit easier since my incubator sits at 40-45% with no water and goes up to 80-90% with even the smallest amount of water, so I only need to worry about not having too much humidity during lockdown.

    Terry, the nurture right 360 has instructions that speak about the room temp that the incubator is in and that it needs to be 72 degrees. Is this really necessary when the incubator is working to keep temp regulated for the eggs?

  • @surfcitybusybee
    @surfcitybusybee 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for your informative video. I have three quail eggs that I've kept warm for past couple of days & had a few eggs in the refrigerator since. Can I still try to hatch some of the eggs from the fridge? Also, I've been waiting for my incubator to arrive, so I've been using a heating pad on the three I'm trying to hatch. The heating pad turns off every couple of hours, and they've probably gone without heat for a couple of hours here in Socal, do you think they'll still be ok? Also, I didn't have them tilting pointy side down for the first two days, do you think they still have a chance of hatching?

    @alsupak2576 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    2 questions..... 1. Will the chicks be ok 3 days in incubator waiting on further hatching? ( my first attempt last month I got 14 on d17 12 on d18 and 8 on d19). 2. On day 18 early, my humidity skyrocketed to 90%+ and the chicks would not dry and subsequently had no hatching feathers for 5 days. Like naked bird. Day 17 birds dried in about 8-10 hours. What could I have done bettter? S Texas with 60-80% humidity this time of year. I have 75 eggs about half way through incubation so this info is time sensitive. Thanks for all the great vids. Bought the comfort plast 15 and the metal feeders based on your vids.

    • @CoturnixCorner
      @CoturnixCorner  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the humidity is high the chicks will take longer to dry, that's why I said it was important to open all the vents once the chicks start hatching to get a little fresh airflow in the incubator Glad you are finding the channel useful.

I can have 5 hens laying 5 eggs a day I can put those eggs in the incubator daily and after 15 or 16 days I can have eggs hatching daily until I stop putting eggs in the incubator. I also never have to worry about humidity inside the incubator it is always the same temp as long as the incubator is running and the incubator is ready for eggs in just one hour after being plugged in with no need for acclimating it.

    Thank you so much for your videos. I am a beginner and put my batch of eggs in the incubator but unknown to me the humility level displayed was completely wrong. I was questioning it because it looked very wet inside (nearly dripping) but the level displayed still said it was too low. So I ordered another hygrometer to double-check. It took a few days to get delivered and when I finally put it in it registered at 99%! Yikes! So I tipped out all the water and finally got it at the correct level. This is now day 6. Do I think 6 days of such high humility means my eggs will not have enough air to hatch?

    so the first 14 days is when the hen will be in and out and the last 3 days is when she will not leave the eggs and therefore stays on the eggs, keeping the eggs covered which brings the humidity up and the incubator is mimicking what a hen would do. Is this correct or am I off the base?

    Hi! Enjoyed your video! Do you have a video talking about incubators? Ones you recommend and ones you recommend staying way from? I would like to start hatching out quail next spring so I'm doing my research now! Thank you for any help you may have.

    Learning a lot about incubators hatching from you very good videos explaining the right way for what I remember my dad told me it’s like you’re in hand towel right now listening to you he will get 95 to 98% hatch but I don’t remember everything he told me that a long time but it’s all coming backFrom listening to you thank you for your video

    I have a home made incubator and I cannot get the humidity down. It's at 65 -70 How can I lower the humidity. I'm in Jamaica

      Increase the airflow or open vents will help with lowering the humidity.

    The Brinsea Mini EX and Maxi EX models also control humidity. As you said if ambient humidity is too high it's a problem. Brinsea recommends a dehumidifier in the room where the incubator is if it's too high.

      Good idea!

      We bought the brinsea ovation ex 56 because it has a pump that helps keep adding water to the incubator from an outside container to keep humidity up. We live in a very dry climate, so we need help maintaining the hatching humidity. I also like that I can stand up the eggs. If I;don’t have enough eggs to fill the rail I use the plugs from the egg foam as spacers. Works beautifully. I can also allow the eggs to lay on their sides in the rails.

    I know this is old but I hope you see this. What is the gray mat in your incubator?
    I have the little giant but the "screen" is white & I am concerned the grid pattern in it is too big & the quails tiny feet will get caught in it.

      @@CoturnixCorner thanks. I was in a store happened to see shelf liner & thought that must be what he used.
      So I have some now.
