What should I do when my new born chick hasn't fully dried her feathers and the incubator keeps changing its temperature Should I move her out of the incubator?
This happened for some chicks I'd been hatching - also one of them was making VERY determined efforts to drown itself in the water tray (being used to increase humidity for the hatch)! So I removed the chicks to a brooder (just a cardboard box with wood shavings and a heat lamp) which I'd already run up to about 95 degF (35 degC) below the heat lamp. The important thing is to avoid cold draughts either while being transferred or when in place in the brooder. One benefit is that they'll dry off quicker in the brooder as it will be lower humidity (or should be!) than the incubator.
What else can I help you with?
Incubater temperature chickens?
The best temperature for hatching chickens or even ducks in an incubator is between 99.5F and 100.5F. The temperature is not the only consideration as the humidity must be right also. Eggs should be at a 55% humidity rate through to the 18th day and raised to better than 65% during the final days.Chickens take 21 days from start yo hatch and ducks can take as much as 35 days.
How warm do you keep a duck egg warm?
Duck eggs should be kept at a temperature of around 99.5°F (37.5°C). This can be achieved by using an incubator or a broody duck for natural hatching. It's important to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the incubation period for successful hatching.
How long do chicks stay in a incubator?
They should be left in the incubator until they are dry,fluffy and active. Do not rush to remove them as opening the incubator will effect the un-hatched and still hatching eggs. This usually takes up to 36 hours and the first hatch chicks will survive quite well without food or water since the humidity in the incubator keeps them hydrated. After 36 hours all unhatched eggs should be candled to verify viability, and the hatched chicks moved to a brooder box.
What temperature incubating chicken eggs?
The incubation temperature should be at a steady 100F for the entire 21 day wait for the chick. Once hatched, the brooder box should be maintained at 100F and you slowly reduce the temperature over several weeks until the chicks can stay comfortable at the environmental temperature.
How should you control the temperature and humidity on two different clutches of duck eggs incubating in the same incubator at the same time with different hatch dates?
You can keep the temperature consistent throughout by setting it at the level required for the eggs that need the higher temperature, which should be the second clutch. To manage the humidity, you can separate the two clutches with a barrier to allow for varying humidity levels, catering to the needs of each clutch. Monitor the incubator closely to ensure that both clutches are receiving the appropriate conditions for successful incubation.
How can I hatch an egg at home?
To hatch an egg at home, you will need an incubator to regulate temperature and humidity. Place the egg in the incubator and turn it regularly. Keep the environment clean and monitor the temperature and humidity levels closely. After a few weeks, the egg should hatch into a chick.
What should the room temperature be in changing rooms?

What does the temperature have to be to hatch chicken egg in a incubator?
Eggs should be maintained at between 99.5 and 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum of 50% humidity. The temperature can go as high as 101 but this will effect the hatch rate. Prolonged periods of cooler temps below 99.5 will cause delay in hatching.
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
What temperature should an incubator be in order to develop female chickens?
Although researchers have found evidence in some breeds that temperature can affect the sexual outcome of the chick, normally that is a situation with reptiles, because reptile eggs are deposited in soil. Chicken eggs incubate under a broody hen, or in an electrically controlled compartment, at a steady 100F. Therefore, what determines the sex of a baby chick is its genetics, not the temperature of an incubator.

How can I hatch a chicken egg at home?
To hatch a chicken egg at home, you will need an incubator to regulate temperature and humidity. Place the egg in the incubator and turn it several times a day. After about 21 days, the chick should hatch. Make sure to provide proper care and warmth for the chick after hatching.
How warm do you keep a duck egg warm?
Duck eggs should be kept at a temperature of around 99.5°F (37.5°C). This can be achieved by using an incubator or a broody duck for natural hatching. It's important to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the incubation period for successful hatching.
How much the temperature in a incubator have to be?
Most bird require the same incubation temperature. A suggested temperature of 99-100 degrees (F) is suggested in an incubator with an air circulating fan. Incubators without a fan should be set at 102 degrees (F). Although a few degrees below these suggested temperatures in not recommended, it will not harm the chicks. However, even a couple of degrees over can cause death to the unhitched chicks within a few minutes. Humidity and turning procedures should also be carefully monitored.
