∙ 15y agoIdeal incubator temperature is between 99.5F to 100.5F Temperatures can go higher for short periods of time but over 101F will reduce hatch viability by up to 20%. Along with temperature, humidity is important and should be maintained at a constant 50% until close to day 18 when it should be increased to 75% humidity for the remaining days of hatch.

∙ 14y agoA chicken egg takes 21 days to incubate and hatch. The ideal temperature to properly develop the embryo is 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit and a humidity of 60% ambient. Small temporary drops in temperature are not a problem unless they are severe and prolonged.

∙ 10y agoIncubators need to be at a steady 100F for successful hatching of fertile eggs. There must also be humidity - more for ducks and geese throughout incubation, and more for the chicken a couple of days before the expected hatch.

∙ 8y agoChicken eggs are incubated at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. They need to be turned every 3 hours, or the chick could stick to the inside of the shell.

Is a 60 watt bulb ok for a glass chicken egg incubator?
Depends on the demensions. I used a 60 watt on a 18X18X18 cooler and it got too hot. If you incubator is around this size try a 40 Watt bulb and see if that gets it to the correct temp.
What does the egg incubator do?
Get a box add a blanket and get a lamp it must stay at 95 To 101 degrees you also must turn the egg three times a day it takes 21to 23 days to hatch to check if an egg is fertilized put it up to a flashlight if you see a blob it is probably fertilized
What is the temp of a chicken?
Body temperature of an adult live chicken is 100.5F
Can you still hatch a robin without an incubator?
No. Chicken eggs not only require a very specific heat that is constant, but they also require humidity. The light bulb would make the air about the egg dry. Plus, it's unlikely that the egg would hatch being exposed to more foreign bacteria.
What is the best temperature to incubate duck eggs?
In A Guide to Better Hatching, by Janet Stromberg, She suggests for most ducks 28 days at 99.5 degrees. Muscovy ducks take 35-37 days. A still air incubator is recommended and increasing the temperature by 2 to 3 degrees. The book can be gotten by contacting Stromberg Publishing Box 400, Pine River, Minnesota 56474. All kinds of poultry, advice is found in the book. Happy hatching. Dogma
If the chicken eggs were at room temp for a couple hours can it still hatch in an incubator if it is fertilized?
yes it can
How does an automatic egg incubator turn the eggs?
keeps the egg at the right temp, and the air around it clean
Will the body temp of a hen be enough to successfully hatch duck eggs?
Oh, yes. I have successfully hatched many ducks under broody hens for the past 35 years. In fact, when using an artificial incubator, the temperature for the chicken and duck eggs should be set at a steady 100F.
How do you lay a human egg?
Humans can't lay eggs. Were mammals. The only mammal to lay eggs is the Platypus.

Is it possible to incubate chicken eggs with a common house lamp?
Yes it is, the lamp and the eggs must be in an insulated box with some means of regulating the temperature. Its probably cheaper and less trouble to buy an incubator. However, some people who are industrious use light bulbs to power their home built incubators utilizing something like an old refrigerator rather than spending hundreds on cabinet type incubators. If you attempt a make shift incubator, use a bulb of less than 60 watts to help avoid fire hazards. My first incubator was a fish tank and a light bulb, while being a lot of trouble to maintain the temp, i had a 50% hatch rate.
What is the correct temperature for the incubator when hatching chicks?
101.5 in a still air incubator 99.5 in a forced air incubator Also important For the first 18 days the humidity should be 50%-60%ish and the eggs should be turned an odd number of times, at least three. For the last three days the humidity should be about 65%-70%, and the eggs should not be turned. Josie
