Posted these questions close to 4:00 today and seemed to have gotten skipped over. The thread was moving! Anyone help? Thanks....
Ok so picked up the other hatching eggs, have my main bator going weith hygrometers, drilled a whole in the side and added the black poly tubing 1/4 inch with a cleat for adding humidity. Weighed and recorded all the egg weights.
Bator has been holding steady at 99.5-99.7 - around 21-25% humidity. Eggs are not in bator and still on turner at room temp.
Questions
1. Hygrometer - how to calibrate this model any links or tips? Thanks
2. I have 48 eggs total and my bator holds 42. So here is what I was thinking. I have a second bator Farm innovators still air, no turner. I was thinking of putting the 6 eggs in there that don't fit in the other bator in an egg carton. I can hand turn for while and then at some point candle, weigh and remove clear and hopefully combine into the bator with the turner and fan closer to lock down. Thoughts or suggestions?
3. Should I candle before setting or just go with the weighs?
I am feeling frazzled already and worried already...thanks.
