Incubation is really quite simple
Easiest of all - Let a hen hatch your eggs
-
Turn the eggs
-
Days 0-17 Turn the eggs twice a day
-
Day 18 Place the eggs on a flat surface.
-
Days 18-21 Do not intentionally turn the eggs.
-
Temperature 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit / 37.5 Centigrade (In eggs we trust)
-
If the hatch is late, increase the temperature for the next batch
-
If the hatch is early decrease the temperature for the next batch
In simpler words - the eggs know best. Thermometers can be wrong
but usually they are wrong the same way by about the same amount.
If the eggs say it is too hot, trust them. They have been doing
this for thousands of years.
