Hmmmm, I am using the thermometer that came with my LG.  Hatched 14 out of 24 on the first try.  LG's should be in a room that has very stable temps.  I can not over emphasis this!  My first hatch it sat in my...
80% humidity is too high for the first 18 days, that is IF it really is 80%.  I doubt this.  Most of those electronic hygrometers are very in-accurate.  If you do some searching in this forum you can find instructions on...
You want both vents open to allow air exchange so the chicks after hatching can dry and fluff up.  If you added a pc fan (or bought the LG with the fan) this helps the chicks dry.  What I did to have both vents open and...
I just started up my LG bator for the second hatch.  All I did was spray top and bottom with Lysol bathroom cleaner (has bleach in it), let it dry, then rinsed.  When I started it up I did smell bleach, but after a day of...

I've been using the same 25 pound bag of red lake DE going on 3 years now.  No chickens have died from it yet.
Coleman max LED flashlight....CHECK!  Gotta get me one of those.  None of the flashlights I have do well for candling......probably yet another reason I don't candle them.  It's one less reason to open the...
I forgot which post we were using for this hatch.  My incubator has been rock steady!  I think having it in the basement was the ticket.  It's a very consistent temp there and that mean the LG is also consistent.  I...
