I have a general mix of different breeds in one incy (total of 8 eggs) and am due to stop the turn tomorrow. I know I should drop the temp to 37 degrees, but everywhere I read says different RHs! Help! Is the consensus 70%? This is my first hatch!

That should be fine, have you been spraying the eggs each day? We found that out after an unsuccessful batch, and now do it every time we do duck eggs.

Good luck with the hatch, its all very eggciting, lololol

Hi - no, I've not been spraying, the incy I have has humidity control, so it's been a steady 55%RH and 37.5 degrees upto now  :happy: I just have to re-set it for the hatch! Sooooo exciting! Thanks for your help
