Days 19-21 of Incubation

Days 19-21 of Incubation

On day 19 you do two very important things to your eggs.  

1. Stop turning the eggs.  The eggs need to sit still so the babies can position themselves to hatch. IF you have automatic turners you will need to take them out of the turner and lay them on the floor on the bator to hatch.  If you have a hatcher, you can move them to the warmed up hatcher.
2. You up the humidity to 70-80%.  Sometimes this is hard depending on the humidity in your house.  I add wet sponges and rags until either I run out of room or hit the target humidity.  When my window fogs all up, then I know I have hit it.  I re-wet the sponges and rags in morning and night.
