Well hopefully it's not... I don't know the breeds too good, just going by the comb. How old are they?
@NatJ , @MysteryChicken can you correct me if I'm wrong please?
Sorry I missed this... The incubator was reading 34% humidity with no water in it.
ETA... This is my base target range for dry incubating my Marans eggs hence the question of ''can I run it with no water?"
Your target for lockdown was 50-55% ? I was thinking 45-50% with my Marans eggs.
Fairly new to this and only my second hatch. First hatch was 8/22 with my own Marans eggs so not too good.
Maybe I should bump it up to that 50-55 range this time.
You could add another vent and fan above the man door and play with the fans switching from intake to exhaust to gauge inside coop temps.
Are all your vent gaps at roof covered in hardware cloth?
Perimeter of coop floor to keep out diggers?
Nice coop btw, 🙂
And a few from Momma who's sitting on Betty's eggs. I took these before Joannie's pics and since installed a light to catch both nests so lighting will be better now. Again, sired by Kong, but these are F1's
Got a few pics from Joannie's nest, she hatched 1 more today. But only the 3 are coming out to say hi. All of these she's sitting on are her daughter Angel's eggs. So these are all grandbabies (F2s) and sired by Kong.
11... King, Kong, Joannie, Jett and Betty are originals. Black, Momma and Double Yellow were hatched by Joannie 2 yrs ago (King sire, dams unknown)
And last year, Momma hatched Angel, Raven and Copper. (King sire, dams unknown)
If I was guessing just by egg shape. Angel, Raven and Black are...
