This is a 'brain dump' of all my thoughts and actions of our first incubating and hatching journey - from receiving the eggs to popping the chicks into the brooder.
Good account of your experience. Would like to know how you made your candler and did you calibrate or salt test your hygrometer? That may have been a reason for your hatch problems??
The extra thermometer / hygrometer was a calibrated one.
For the candler, we hitched up one of my husbands uber bright bicycle lights, inside an old coffee pot, with a drinking bottle lid taped onto the top. It looked most odd, but it worked and that is what mattered to me!
