    DIY Incubator, Humidity

    Hmm... Do you think I could put just regular store eggs in to simulate what would happen once I get fertilized eggs in there? Just so I don't have to play as much once they're in there? Not sure if it would work though...

    DIY Incubator, Humidity

    I've got humidity down to 52% and temp is at 99 degrees Fahrenheit even. Once the eggs are in how much do you think humidity will increase?

    DIY Incubator, Humidity

    Ok so I've put three ventilation holes on either side of the incubator, for a total of six dime sized holes. I can tape them over if needed. I've also replaced the tray with one that covers less surface area, and we'll see what that does in an hour or two.

    I put a damp cloth in the little tray instead of water, and that brought the humidity down to about 70% so far. When I get home tonight, I'll put a smaller tray in there with less surface area and see what that does.

    I completely forgot about ventilation holes! I'll put a few in and take a bit of the water out and see how that goes.

    DIY Incubator, Humidity

    So I've just finished puthing together this snazzy incubator and the temperature is stabilizing nicely. My only issue is humidity. I've got my little tray of water in there, but can't get humidity lower than 79 %. Yikes. Anyone have any sggestions on how to help regulate it? Thanks!

    Canadians check in here....

    Northern/Central Alberta! Also, I was wondering if anyone from Canada, or better yet Alberta, had any suggestions for places to get fertile eggs? Thanks!

    Where can I get fertile eggs?

    Oops! I forgot to say that everywhere I had looked wouldn't sell less then 25 in a batch haha. I'm just wanting to do a test run with my home made incubator, so I was thinking about 4-6 just to see the hatch rate. I have a farm set up for the test runs to go to when they're big enough :) But...

    Where can I get fertile eggs?

    I'm 16, and I'm incubating and raising chickens for a 4-H project. I don't want to get ahead of my self and get an incubator, and a chicken pen and everything else ready before I realize I have no idea where to get eggs. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a hatchery, preferably in Canada...
