Question
I have african grey eggs, I am trying to incubate them myself but yet I can not find information on what temperature, the humidity and how long the eggs are supposed to be in the incubator.  Also, do I have to rotate the eggs.  Any information would be very helpful.  Thank you.

Answer
Hi, Matt.  Thanks for posting!

Your incubator should have come with instructions on all of this.

Here is a website to help you out:

Do similar internet searches using the search string:  incubating parrot eggs.

The eggs will need to stay in the incubator until the babies hatch out (if they are going to hatch).  If you haven't been incubating these eggs up to now properly, they probably won't hatch.

Yes, you need to rotate the eggs 1/2 turn counterclockwise at least every 12 hours.
