I use straight vermic ... been doing it that way for over a decade ... I love the stuff and I know how to get it "just right" by feel at this point.

Over the years I've tried combinations of vermic and perlite and even straight perlite ... just wasn't for me ... not saying anything bad about it, I just like vermic better. There are so many ways to successfully incubate eggs these days, it's really a matter of personal preference.

I know this is your first year so you want to get everything "perfect" ... but after you do this a few times and get comfortable with the process, I'd encourage you to experiment with incubation mediums ... experimentation and learning is what this stuff is all about ... you might find something you like better down the road ... or you might find that what you're using now is perfect for how you do it.

Keeping my fingers crossed for some nice big clutches for you!!
