This was just NASTY! Something NEW is Hatching on the Farm today!
What happens here
The Chickcozy incubators feature a digital display showing current temperature (ideally 99.5°F), humidity, and incubation day count. They also include a built-in 'egg candler' light for inspecting eggs. The incubator has water troughs to maintain humidity and an automatic egg turning mechanism, which can also be operated manually via a button. About three days before the expected hatch date (Day 18), remove the egg turner trays and lay the eggs directly on the incubator's floor. It's crucial to maintain adequate humidity, increasing it as hatching approaches.
Goal: Maintain optimal temperature and humidity, and utilize the egg turning and candling features.
