What temperature do I need in my incubator to hatch eggs?
Posted on Apr 23, 2010 under Hatching Eggs | 4 CommentsWhat is the lowest possible temptuer for Chicken Eggs to hatch? My incubator will not go anyhigher than 98F .. is that fine?
You should keep the incubator at 100 F, but since your only two degrees below it is all okay. Don’t forget about the humidity, it should be at 60%. Also you need to turn the eggs about six times everyday so that the yolk doesn’t stick to one side. Its hard work but such fun. I loved it when my family had their farm. Good luck.
This video gives you a good view of a chicken hatching in real time. Note how the incubator is set up and the other eggs due to hatch - and of course the little chick already hatched.
