How to Hatch Shipped Eggs Start to Finish | Chickens

Just wanted to show you my process when receiving shipped eggs. How to incubate them start to finish. These are Ayam Cemani eggs. We already have Ayam Cemani chickens, I just wanted to get a different blood line introduced. We got these eggs from Kim at DragonFly Farm in North Carolina.

Let eggs rest on the counter pointy end down for 24 hours.
Put in incubator and set temperature to 99.5-100 and humidity to 40%.
Candle at day 10 and remove any undeveloped eggs.
Day 18 remove from turner and place in hatch tray and set humidity to 65%
Day 21 remove chicks. Or 3 days after the first chicks hatches if you have a lot of non hatched eggs. Chicks can survive up to 72 hours without food or water.

50% is about the average for us on shipped eggs. Sometimes you have a better hatch and sometimes worse.

We hatched 13 of the 24 that we paid for. 54%

Thanks for watching.
