INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[campingshaws]

YOUR BOOK! Silly Sally. I didn't take progress pics because I was doing every so wrong. But I have one of the front.

Because of that thing in the middle of the fan, it is still blowing across the bottoms of the bulbs. Weakly, because I need the better power source. So I still have hot/cold spots. Spatially the bulbs were not in a different place whether they were mounted on sides or on back. I need to get the humidity a bit higher. You wait til you see draw down or internals to really bump it up?

My air cells aren't really dipped; they're basically straight across. Two I think are dipped. Hoping the others aren't dead already.

Sally and LoKo:

Coolerbator is good. I had to do a few things different because the cooler I found had wheels and a big metal handle. That changed where I had to mount lights, which changed the fan. Then I put a HUGE window right in front, so that changed the vent holes. I glued the glass from the inside and kept the front "insert" to pop in and out for insulation.

The very bottom was 7 3/4 x 19 1/4, roughly. We made a frame of scrap wood and hardware cloth to raise the eggs a bit. I'm using a 25w bulb full time, and a 40w wired to the digital tstat.

There were two coolers at the junk sale Saturday but I didn't get them. :/ I think I'm at $30 on the build: tstat was $16, fan was $4 (plus tax it was $21 on amazon for both), then $1.50 each on two ceramic bases, found shelf liner as a remnant in the fabric section, got four old extension cords for $1 at the junk sale, then two boxes of bulbs.

I already had the cooler, glass, duct tape, goop adhesive, wood, hardware cloth, and 12v charger (though it's wrong).

I get nervous when I go off book. I don't wanna get scolded.

No need to hide
We all have to tweak em a bit to get em where we want em.
Took me a coupla days to tweak mines just right.



Tag me next time

HUGE THANKS to whoever suggested I keep the insert for insulation. Joey maybe? It's been invaluable to the temp stability.

Sally did the same thing so make sure you yell at her pretty face as well.

I saw that

Thought about scolding her, 'til I remembered she "does whut she wants"

Somehow I just can't bring myself to yell at something that looks that good! Not never!

Yessum
This time


I'm getting itchy over here for new chicks
Its been all of 25 days or so

I wish it still cost that much. I haven't shot a buck yet thats been worth the $300-$400 price tag to hang it on the wall. I think I paid just shy of $300 to get a pedestal mount done of a coyote I shot.

I don't figure I'll ever get another that nice, even if he is a 6 pt; not around here, anyway. And you're right; at today's prices it'd have to be something super special for me to even consider another shoulder mount.

@kwhites634
I have to thank you again for those quail rails!
Don't think I could thank you enough!
You're a Master Enabler
As opposed to a specialist....
