20+ min video explaining the steps of how to control the humidity, remove the chick's and place them in the brooder box until the hatch is completed, and transferring the chick's over to the brooder tower on day 3.

some general info:
incubation usually takes 17-18 days, although some may hatch as early as on Day 15, and as late as day 20. after day twenty, unplug the incubator and the fan from the power strip along the back of the bench counter top (Grey plug is incubator, black plug runs the fans).

pre-warm the brooder box to 95°F before transferring over from the incubator. they need 95°F for the first week, then 90°F for the second week 85°F the third, etc). *there is an orange and black temperature gun on the bench top if interested in checking, but the brooder box and the brooder tower are both preset. all heaters and heat lamps are turned on by the one switch on the white power strip on the side of the brooder box. the white inspection light is unplugged and can be plugged in only if you need it. unplug it when not inspecting so as not to disrupt the sleep patterns (red lights don't affect sleep and therefore stay on the whole time).

move them to the brooder "tower" level two or three (or both if more than 60 babies) - splitting a large hatch helps minimize water and feed usage

Brooder Tower takes a few hours to warm up. after the second day of them in the brooder box, plug the tower into the blue extention cord on the floor below the brooder box. everything that needs to be turned on is already on, so plugging it in is all you need to do. all the birds should be able to fit under the black heater plate so they all can stay warm. if there's too many, split them by using level 2 and 3. you may decide to do this going into the second week as they grow, and they grow fast.
water- do not use or install the water tray until after 3-4 days in the tower if you wish to use them. I usually use the red/white drinker bottles for the first few days, then put the water tray on while still keeping the water bottle in because they tend to run out of water before feed. keep the feeder and water tray filled so they don't see the trough as an escape route. you will learn the timing and pattern after the first few days, knowing how long they can go before things get low. between the two levels, you should be able to last 24 hours.

I'm expecting a %50-%60 hatch rate of 137 eggs (that total will drop after I use a flashlight to see which ones were fertile and are developing.) it may turn out that only 100 eggs remain and I move into the hatching tray before I leave. maybe less. of those %50-%70 may hatch.

when you are taking the birds out, take the empty egg shells out an put in the small white bucket to make room for the chick's as others hatch. when the hatch us over, (day 20), take all the eggs out, put them in the bucket and throw them over the hillside between ours and the neighbors yard... far enough not to attract animals towards the birds.
you can keep a tally of the number of birds that hatch by putting a hash mark in groups of 5. then put the total hatch / total eggs down so I can tally the hatch rate.
