    Humidity reading wrong

    Ok. Sorry for all the questions.... but it was reading right and now it’s not... and then temp is WAY TOO low... like 97.3. But instead of heating up the temp is getting lower. Help?

    Humidity reading wrong

    I think I have the temps right. Is there a way to keep it from getting too high? Or to make it just right? Right now it’s on 98.7, it’s trying to heat up.... 99.5 is ideal right?

    Humidity reading wrong

    so I set another batch of eggs thinking I had it corrected. I think the temps were too high. I’ve lost 3. 2 pipped and died within hours, one hatched the died. So adjusting and crossing my fingers more hatch. At this point only 6 of 56 have hatched 😞

    Humidity reading wrong

    Ok. I have an incubator with an alarm for when the humidity is wrong. I bought a thing to check the humidity and temp on an old one. The incubator is reading 30% but my hygrometer says 53%.... which explains why a lot of my chicks drowned in the last hatching. But I don’t know how to change the...

    Chick and broody hen

    no I was worried so I didn’t. Shes out with her chick now so it may be a good thing since at less than a day old I don’t think the new one would be able to keep up. So hoping another hatches soon

Now tonight another hatched. the hen is in the dog house and hasn’t left yet with the new chick. She did get up and walk around today. Can I put this...

    Laying genetics

    Not even sure if this is where to post this. I am wondering if you put a rooster on a red star and hatch the eggs will the red star pass down the excellent laying ability? Does it depend on the rooster? Like you would need a breed of rooster that is superb also?

Then gravity feed to the...

    Automatic watering system

    I am due at the end of next month, live in north Florida and it’s hot! Right now I have to carry 5 gallon buckets in the coop to fill up the waterers. What I want to do is set up a system with pvc pipe and a hose to give hem fresh water. Just not sure what to use on the water end. I’ve heard...
