Comence Incubation!



Yesterday we retrieved the eggs int the mail at 10:30. We received six eggs from Arkansas (from the company My Pet Chicken). They had to sit at room temperature for about twelve hours to stabilize. That night I put them in the incubator at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and about 50 percent humidity. This is the recommended/ideal temperatures for the eggs to incubate. I have a Hova Bator Incubator with an automatic egg-turner. They will remain in the incubator at those exact temperature and humidity for about 18 days. At 18 days the egg turner comes out and the humidity will be risen.
