Hey guys!!! I haven't been able to get on here much the last little while. I just got my incubator in today. SOO EXCITED! And scared to death! LOL
I have the bator set up in the spare room. Room temp is about 83 according to the thermometer and room humidity is 43-45%. I put water in the bottom of the bator and at this point only half an hour (maybe less) after set up the humidity inside the bator is 53%. I am going to practice with some LF eggs from my own chickens. Have been collecting since last Saturday and just kept them in an egg flat with small end down on a table. Will they be okay? Read somewhere they should be kept cooler. Not much I can do about it now, but do I need to collect new eggs and keep them cooler somehow???? What do y'all do??
I want to get a few hatches of LF down before I try Seramas, although that's what I primarily got the bator to hatch!
I'm open to and would appreciate any tips on what's too high humidity, and what to do about it, etc. Worried that might be a problem.
Oh yeah, I got a Genesis 1588 with auto egg turner. Won't use the turner with Serama eggs, but am going to use it for the LF. Has anyone put some kind of handle on the lid to make it easier to open and manipulate??? Just seems pretty unwieldy to me, and I know I need to hurry when I open the bator lid.
Thanks in advance!!!
