So, I had Gene come pick his chicks up today. Left the hatcher plugged in, figured to move the next batch of eggs (due on Friday/Saturday) to it tonight. Well, this afternoon, I heard cheeping . Uh, not supposed to be any chicks in the house right now.....checked the incubator and sure enough...

Update---first chicks hatched! The batch from Gene. Set 9, 5 were duds, 2 looked like quitters--I'll crack them open this afternoon and see what I see. But I've got 2 live fluffy chicks for him I used a styrobator for a hatcher and that seems to work well for me. More eggs hatching end of...

Well... I'm not sure. I had 4 different batches of eggs. Gene gave me 9 eggs. I have no idea how they were stored prior to incubating, but I do know they were all fresh. 5 didn't develop at all, no vein, etc. 2 look like quitters but I left them in for now. 2 look good. Hatch date for these...

Thanks for the explanation Meep, I get what you're saying now. I'm not sure my thermostat has a swing variation, though. Seriously. It's set for 99.5, then dips to 99.4 and the lights come on. It's literally every second or so, flashing on and off. I wish it had more of a variation but there's...

We'd found a second large fan and pulled it out of the housing *great minds think alike* and that's what I tried on the floor this morning. Honestly, it makes me nervous working with it uncovered, I may wait until Honey or a boy are home to try that again. I'd wondered about mounting it to the...

What's a spot check? The big fan is just a Honeywell desk fan, it's 10 inches with a base for standing on a desk. So, Honey went to work today and I've been free to play with the incubator a bit. I put the fan on the bottom, pointing up. At low or high I couldn't get good temps, the top was...

Okay, so the pics are kind of backward lol. Outside on the bottom, inside on the top. The thermostat is mounted to the exterior of the cabinet, with the probe snaked through a hole in the side and setting on the middle shelf. The paper bowl and plate were for the thermometers to set on, the wire...

Pics pending...

Thanks Sally! I'll take all the help I can get. I've read your thread, DMRippy's thread, and a few others on larger cabinet bators. I'll get pics up later today after the house clears out . I have two of these.... http://incubatorwarehouse.com/incubator-thermometer-hygrometer.html and I've...

My Honey built me a nice large cabinet incubator . It's big and heavy, cause of course his thinking is go big or don't bother. It's 1 1/4" plywood, basically a box 2x2 and 3 feet tall. We've got 3 shelves made of a left over piece of cattle panel, so there's nothing to obstruct airflow. A Fall...
