Any tips to help incubate chicken eggs?

Question

I have a Hovabator incubator with an automatic egg turner, and keep it in my greenhouse. I take the turner out on schedule, and don't open the incubator more than necessary.The temperatures are right, but the humidity is sometimes high. About 1/3 of the eggs I put in the incubator hatch, and sometimes a chick will appear as though its lower digestive tract is not fully developed and the chick dies, but most of those that hatch live and are healthy. Sometimes a few eggs are not fertilized, but that's not common. Any ideas are appreciated.

Answer 1

try and keep the humidity at the right place because that is probably why some of the chicks have been having probelms... btw you should take it out of the greenhouse, the green house provieds humidity and so does the incubator
