    Thermometers

    Quote: I'd agree with tracecom on the "spot check"....I also picked up a similar looking unit but had a different brand name on eBay for about 1/2 the cost of the Brinsea. They are also very accurate and frankly I'm not sure the internal temperature of the egg will vary much compared to the...

    picking an incubator

    most important items to look for in an incubator is; 1.) rock solid temperature capability (too many "cheap" 'bators fluctuate in temp due to poorly designed controlers and poor insulation) 2.) ability to keep bacteria to a minimum (styrofoam will harbor bacteria regardless of how well you...

    Really really fed up :(

    i agree with "chookschick" on the 40% humidity.....but I use Brinsea Octagons NOT rCom's! for temps I find my hatches are better with a slightly higher temp in ALL of my Brinsea's....I have 8 Octagon's running from Jan-June at 100.5-101F finally, i keep a room humidifier running to keep the...

    Buckeye eye color?

    Well put Chris! Here is a close up of one of my Buckeye roosters from 2009; The eye color is not nearly the RED color as Chris' RIR eye color but you can see the orangish/red color that I find typical in most Buckeyes! "Horn" colored beak is similar to the RIR "horn" color.....

    Should I clean off dirty eggs before I start incubating?

    Quote: Sharon, it is a VERY controversial subject indeed and if you ask 100 people 50% will say "wash" and 50% will say "don't wash"! Like "Stormymoon" stated, simply scrape the crusty stuff off....I use a razor blade if it's really crusty and sometimes a "scotch-brite" pad to loosen any mud...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Quote: When placing "cold" eggs under a broody hen do it one or two eggs at a time....wait about 6-8 hours and do it again! I've had broody hens abandon a nest that had too many "cold" eggs placed in them. Last year I experimented with near frozen hatching eggs, they were left out over night...

    incubator problem

    i'm with ridgerunner....wait and see what happens! i've had power outages, bator problems and still managed to get some eggs to hatch it really depends on the length of time the problem had to manifest itself into the developing chicks. Good luck,
