[@OklahomaAdrenalineLife]

My Mom always hatches eggs! The chicks are so sweet when they are little! plus I love when they grow and make eggs to make omelets!

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

excellent omelets!!!

[@PavindraLaljit]

Do the incubator come with the egg tray or do you have to buy them individually

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

they are a separate purchase.

[@rickdewitt3518]

Keep in that humidity if you want the rest that are piped to hatch they dry out on seconds.

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

I dry hatch so that doesn’t apply)

[@adrianavalos4861]

Great info thanks 🙏🏼

[@23kaochang]

When should you move them down to the hatch tray? Day 18? 19?

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Most people put the in lock down on day 17 or 18

Nice video

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Thanks Matilda! I hope it was fun for you to watch, I love incubating chickens!

How do staggered hatching go?

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

Hi Pat! I do dry hatched so staggering is never an issue for me. I put the eggs in the lockdown tray at the bottom that is still while all the stacked trays can still rotate.

@@ParagonRidgeRanch if you don’t do dry hatching the. The humidity I guess can only favour one side. Either higher for hatching, or lower for incubating. Am I correct in saying this? Thanks for the video helpful as I’m looking at maybe getting one

[@westlee1626]

I’m confused. How does this work when the eggs on the first phase need the humidity to be 45-55 but the eggs hatching need it to be 55- up. So how do you do both at the same time?

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

I do dry hatches always;) they are so much more successful for me. Put them in and forget about them. No messing with humidity ever, I have higher hatch rates this way too;)

[@westlee1626]

@@ParagonRidgeRanch oh so dry hatch just means you put them in and don’t add no water and let em go?! Has this method worked for any other incubators then?

[@dustinlane9754]

How do you dry hatch ?

[@westlee1626]

@@dustinlane9754 basically dry hatching means. No water is added until the last three days. So basically only add water when it’s the hatching days.

[@ParagonRidgeRanch]

I used the same method in my foam incubators as well, with both red plugs out so the humidity from the house is circulated;)
