Incubating Sun Conure eggs

I am looking ahead in incubating my sun conure eggs as there are about to lay now
I have an automatic incubator and wanna know what is the temperature and humidity required
Need assistance before i start please help out

Hi,

If your pair lays eggs, the best thing to do is leave the eggs with the parents and let them raise any chicks that might hatch. I do not recommend trying to use an incubator. They do not always develop properly, and chicks that are hand fed from day 1 rarely survive. They have a better chance with the parents. Sun Conures are very common in captivity and breed well in captivity so there is no good reason to incubate the eggs. As for the settings, I honestly have no idea.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
