    Air cell size with dry incubation.

    I’m sorry I was unable to help you. I am rarely active on BYC anymore. I do get my pm notifications through my email so I do reply to members through pm. I don’t like the term dry incubation because it’s misleading. I prefer the term “low humidity incubation”. I don’t like humidity during...

    Ok I’ve never seen restrictions on courtnix. One of our Amish families had the bob white and we had taken some roosters to them and my son just fell in love with them. Lol :hugs It’s hard up here just to find a place that allows pets period. One of the problems we’re having is I have a rather...

    lol. :hugs My son’s been wanting bobwhite quail for a couple years...lol however, in NY if I understand what I read there is something about needing permits and restrictions... I think coutnix (is that the right name?) is the most common.

    Ty, yes. Out of my last silkie hatch I finally got my first real splash, female and that’s what I intended on breeding for this year in hopes of concentrating on just splash/blues and blacks. But we will see what happens over the next year. Dad has gotten really bad too. We believe it’s...

    Thank you. It is. The one that is supposed to take my silkies is my mechanic’s wife, and it’s under the understanding that if at any point I want to restart, I get eggs from my original flock free of charge. I have a friend that is supposed to be taking about half of my layer flock and I’m...

    Haven’t been on in a while. Life has been pretty crappy. In the process of rehoming my flock. It really sucks but it’s come down to having to give up our chickens in order to try to find alternate housing. Which is proving to be a pain. I’m keeping my incubator in case we are able to start over...

    :frow How has everyone been? I had a message I had to answer so I figured I’d drop in since I haven’t been here in forever! Is everyone ready for the holidays? Getting cold up here. Not looking forward to winter, but can’t wait for Christmas!

    Welcome to thread and it amazes me you read all the way through it!! Lol Yes, make sure it's calibrated. My very first hatch I bought a therm and never checked it. It was almost 6 degrees off! Ruined my hatch. I agree with the others. Especially on the dark eggs needing the brightest light...

    Lockdown

    If your incubator has a lot of condensation the air is very moist. Extremely moist air is not really what you want the chicks breathing in.
