Mine came with my incubator and since my incubator was cheap I think they can be found cheap, check out the Hovabator  website.  Do you have water in there?  As I am sure you know Humidity is almost as important as temp.  I "drowned" my first batch last year (I think) from keeping the humidity to high the whole time.

Question.  The chart I have for setting by the Moon says to set June 8-9. But when I look for the next full moon it is June 4. I believe I was told you set the day before, day of and day after the full moon. So which is the proper time for the next Moon set? And yes I'll be glad to join the new thread.

Thanks, she was the last of our "original 4".  When my DH and I first moved in together we got 4 dogs in that first year, both of us got a big dog and a little dog (we of course did not have kids at the time) and slowly over the past few years we have lost them all, she was the final one.  Kind of the end of our young adulthood.

 

 

I am praying for your little ones. fl.gif

I would do June 8-9.  Not only on this thread but others that I was reading that were all set at the same time, did not do so well, so I am doubting the full moon set.  I had a GREAT hatch rate when I did the waning moon last time around (of course I did not have the same temp issues) however, others setting at the same time seemed to have pretty good rates also.  So I think I am not doing the full moon setting anymore.
