Incubator question add more water or not?
« on: August 31, 2009, 08:10 »
This afternoon my hatchlings will have been in the incubator for 24 hours and time to remove but last time I did this the others that had pipped became shrink wrapped because the humidity drops so badly should I top reserves to the full again top up half way or spray eggs with water obvoiusly gently! which is what we used to do with ducks when we had a very old poly hatcher has anyone any prevoius experience on this and just wonder what suits best for any of you! Thanks

I suppose it really depends on the temperament of your incy :)

Personally I would add a wet sponge in with the eggs that is within easy access to keep moist, but that's because adding water at that stage with my little incy wouldn't have the same impact :)

I'd steer clear of spraying if possible :)

ok will try a sponge as we have 10 hatchlings already but 10 still left I am very excited as we bought a couple of polish and both have hatched and the easiest to identify with wonderful pompom heads which my daughter finds totally amazing :D thanks
