I would love to see someone get a 100% hatch rate on infertile eggs
heck.. even a 1% hatch rate on infertile eggs would be a major accomplishment
I think cloning would be the only way to do that? (yes that's written as a question).. I'm not up to date on what all is required for...
Mine stays right on temp
and no... I don't own stock in Reptipro or work for them.. it would be nice if I did and could get a sweet discount.. but I'm not that lucky!
I get 100% hatch rates on my fertile eggs.. But I have been hatching out eggs all my life and am well into my 50's.. plus I...
I get 100% hatch rates with my Reptipro.. and it runs year round..so if that isn't serious incubating.. I don't know what is..
I have used mine for everything from parrots to emu with no issues
as for opening the door.. that is NOT to control temperature OR humidity..
that is to increase...
oh I agree.. I love mine though.. I stack eggs in them.. have crammed close to 100 eggs in the same Reptipro and had every one that was fertile hatch (only 4 clears in that particular batch). I have done staggered hatches.. incubated duck, goose, quail, turkeys and chickens in it all at the same...
a wet bulb reading is in degrees on a wet bulb thermometer... it's not the same as a % reading on a hygrometer.. both are used to determine humidity.. but won't read as the same number..
For example lets say you have a reading of 80º WET bulb and 99.5º on the DRY bulb .. that will give about a...
I always get 100% hatch rates on fertile eggs with the Reptipro.. shipped eggs will be a bit lower just because of damage during transit.. Heck.. i even stack eggs in it and still get 100% to hatch
Have you been monitoring weight loss or air cells?.. because with humidity at 50% during...
I know that the hatcheries that wing band chicks do it at hatch while sexing them.. so the wing band should be fine on a tiny chick.. The only issue i have seen was where a chick had gotten the end of the band over their wing tip and no one straightened it back out.. so it started cutting into...
