Incuview Incubator

[ThaiDye]

Incubator came this morning!! I have LOTS of pictures... I uploaded them to Flickr - what is the easiest way to get them all to BYC? Should I put them in an album and then upload those pics to this thread? I also have video too.

Maybe just provide a link to your flicker album

Okay I created an album on BYC for it. Here is the link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/g/a/6664914/incuview-incubator/

I added a description to many of the photos too.

So far it has been pretty darn consistent!! I really like how it "feels". Seems sturdy and well made. I will post video of it turning soon. It only turns for 3 seconds so I have to be quick with my phone to record it

Here's the overall readouts:

9:59am Plugged In Temp: 63.4f Vent plug removed
10:02am temp 77.1
10:04am temp 82.2
10:05am temp 83.1
10:10am 93.9
10:13am 98.0
10:14am 98.7
10:15am 100.1
10:23am 99.5
10:32am opened cover to put my own temp/humidity sensor in the egg tray - temp after replacing cover 98.0 (I also put the plug back in the vent hole)
10:33am 99.5
11:29am 99.9
12:04pm 99.5

Yes, I'm a bit obsessed

Granted I have no eggs in the incubator but I ran it all night and it's still holding perfect this morning!! And my house was only 65 degree's when I woke up. Temp was 99.5 and humidity (with the vent open) was 33%. I'm going to unplug it today and check the water and move it upstairs to a warmer bedroom to test it out with no water also.

Any update on your hatch?? How is it going with the incubator?

Oh..I just realized the Incu-View doesn't have a fan to circulate air....so it means it's still? is that good? which is better? Air circulation, I thought was a necessary requirement in hatching eggs.
Would anyone know?

Thank you in advance.

Yes it has a fan!

Really? Awesome...I just ordered one from incubator warehouse, but didnt see it say that it had a fan just that it kept the temp and humidty regulated evenly. Like you, I'm excited to give it a go. *crossing my fingers that it will work well*
