[Phage]

I saw it earlier, but the creative juices aren't flowing too well tonight. My brain's dead, but I'll look at it again tomorrow and try to offer some suggestions. Have a good night, Trojan lady!

Haha! Thanks! Fight On!

Did you go to USC??

Hey hot pepper girl! Brutal cold finally snapped. It's 20 , here now that's 49 degrees warmer than yesterday.

AWESOME, glad your temps warmed up!! We hit 91 today. It was 75 at 7 am. Definitely too warm for February!!

Something is amiss. Yes, the water should be around 100F, same as the air temp... or close to it. It might be a little cooler due to thermal conduction through the bottom of the tray, but should still be warm. The temp below the mesh should be similar to the surrounding air since it is a fan-forced bator. The fan may not be running fast enough to circulate the air like it should. I believe it also has an adjustment in the menu.

The water shouldn't be slimy. Not sure what that's all about, but I highly recommend distilled or RO/DI water instead of tap. Pennies may attract some impurities, but copper also oxidizes in the presence of moisture. Not worth the risk to me...

You're a(king about the "egg-o-meter".

Thank you! I sent an email to Incubator Warehouse today, I got voicemail when I called, so thought email might be easier. I do use RO water. And, I will look for the Egg-o-meter!!

Thanks again!

Make sure they are at least room temp before adding to the bator
I would keep them upright, fat end up, being shipped eggs
Check your AC as soon as you get them and check for cracks etc.

Good Morning Local, How are you this fine Tuesday morning?
We went from freezing rain Monday morning to mid 50's and a lot of rain this morning

I am about fed up with freezing rain and Monday moanings.
Have a good day everybody!

Be careful and stay safe.
