- In part 3 of this series, we look at 2 important points, humidity and day 18.
I'm always being asked about humidity, as this is important when incubating eggs. You need to get it right, but its not as hard as many people may make out.
The next important part is day 18, when the eggs are placed into lockdown, and are getting ready for the hatch.
I always mark out the aircell at day 18 when I candle aswell as if I need to help a chick when their stuck, I know where I can pierce the shell without touching any blood vessels 🥰
The humidity thing baffles me a bit. And no-one explains why we need humidity. I have learned that humidity in the last few days must be high to make sure the egg shell does not dry out and harden. But I am pretty sure there are birds that successfully hatch chicks here in the Kalahari dessert, the Antarctica, and the Knysna forest. There is no way that birds can control the humidity in these different conditions.
Thank you for the video. I have a janoel 24. I have watched loads of video's regarding incubation. It is nice to see someone from the UK with their thoughts as our humidity is different to other countries. I saw your supermarket egg vlog and tried the same but to no avail. I did however manage to hatch a guinea fowl egg (out of 6) from a local market and It was exactly on day 28. I was just wondering if you sell fertile eggs as I would love to hatch my own. Once again thank you for a great video. P.S. Guinea fowl is doing fine and he is now 2 years old.
Hi, Thanks for the comment and watching the video.
I don't currently sell hatching eggs. Mainly because I need to split the flock, and my eggs are hybrid, rather than pure breed. I will be selling them one day.
Why are you putting a glass in the incubator when its base holds water? That might be why your eggs aren't developing properly.
You should do a egg giveaway to your uk viewers,like a competition or something. We had a disaster with our incubator,my son knocked it off the desk breaking all the eggs aswell as the incubator. New incubator now but no eggs so I'd definitely enter.
Great idea, and I have been considering doing so. However, I haven't had great hatch rates so far this year. Plus most of my birds would be hybrid. We've only just split them up into breeds.
If you want me to post you 6 eggs, drop me a message on the Facebook page.
Another great video. Here's hoping the humidity in ireland is near enough to the same as the UK.
I would think it is
how much water should i add... just kidding XD good vid dude
LOADS!!! Have them swimming in it :) :) :)
@@AnnoyDad hahahah 🤣🤣🤣
Where can I check the humidity??
How much humidity do you need for the ideal roast potatoes?
LOL, very good, and I have no idea :)
Thanks for the effort
Great video
Thank You :)
I tried a dry hatch but my humidity drops down to the 20's. so i have to add water to get up to 30-40
I started to put my chicken eggs to incubate it’s 3 day now my humidity is 57-60 it’s bad for the eggs
Can you turn the damn music off that is so annoying.
Hey i dont have an incubator and i. From the UK but i really wanna hatch a chick from an egg i was wonderinf to keep the egg in tge boiler room is that ok?? Im just worried that it wont work or if im doung it right or not?? Do u think its ok for me to put the egg in an boiler room to hatch a chick??
Do you always do dry incubation for the first 18 days?
Yes. Will only add water if in a very hot and dry period.
when you feel the eggs in the incubator, what temperature should they be? bcoz mine were kina hot idk if thats good or bad... :/
the video was very helpful thanks!
I'm thinking how should they feel?
