an automatic antenna is a good idea but I cant find one anywhere but in china on ebay:|....the only wrecker in my area is closed... any similar suggestions?

oh, yeah my bad I guess i forgot to say that yes they are chicken eggs....still nothing happening...

No when i locked them down i was strapped for time so I skipped out on candling them. I know theyre fertilized so i figured it didnt really matter that much, if some hatched they hatched i wasnt in need of knowing how many might hatch, none stunk so i wasnt worried about stink bombs. they...

So I have 4 dozen eggs, 3 of which are on day 26 with no action. No stink, none have exploded, none are leaking or anything. the temperature was at 100 the whole time and humidity steady stopped turning at day 18 textbook incubation to my knowledge... whats going on?

Okay...so Ive been pondering for a while now. I have a rotiserie motor a light timer and a coop door i want to open... Seems simple. The only problem is my light timer only goes for a minimum of 15 minutes so I have to have some kind of MASSIVELY long string that just leads to problems ( Ive...

So I live on the coast in BC and it's very humid here. And my problem is that I have no water in my incubator it is warm and dry (feeling) inside and the humidity is still 70%... Im pretty sure my hygrometer is in food shape too, so anyone have any suggestions? I'm only on day 3 here... But I...

I don't think 45 be too much, that's about what mine does and that's what the others I've seen do. As long as they don't fall out I'd imagine you're good.

Nobody?
