I strive for an 80% humidity rate and I usually incubate my eggs at 84 degrees. Common knowledge is you will get males at around 82 and females at 89. I have avoided incubating at higher temps because of side effects such as scute abnormalities and even had a redfoot hatch with just one eye. Bye the way I have kept her and she is awesome and my vet said the eye problem is definately not hereditary and she will make a great breeder. Good luck-- If all goes will you will have babies hatching out anywhere between day 120-180 or so......later Richard

I concur with Richard. I keep the eggs on almost dry Espoma brand organic vermiculate but keep a water filled bowl in the Hovabator for humidity. My temps are around 84F also and I have almost 100% hatching success with fertile eggs.

Your definately doing it right. Congrat's on the good hatch rate. What a great feeling to open that incubator and see the life inside the egg chipping it's way out.....Happy Holidays to All..Richard
