so far, and maybe only: 2 out from 14 eggs Question 1: when collecting the eggs should we wash and clean before incubation? Question 2: after hatch how long they take to start walking upstraight? PS

It's a digital one (european 220vac). You may google it's partnumber to see if theres an 110vac version. I have it for some time, bought it in a flea market. The internal relay was low amp spec, I'ved used an external one after 2 failled attempts. PS

it's as important as temperature is. go for a large (wide but not tall) bowl near the lamp to get well heated and spread-out humidity into the incubator. take care to avoid young folks to drown in it. (carefull read the tuturial How To Incubate & Hatch Eggs)

1st and 2nd attempt there was a electrical faillure in the relay and the lamps blow-off 3rd attempt - unsuccess, maybe low humidity... 4th attempt - now with a large water pan, this morning I saw 2 little guys working to get out

Hi! I have 3 black transylvanian naked neck hens and 1 rooster (not black). I live in Azores islands - Portugal and quite close to the sea shore, meaning lots of humidity (salty). They are about 10 mounts old and they live outside in a fair big but limited space. One of the hen's feathers start...

Hi, I've build a very similar incubator. I've placed 2 lamps in paralel because if one blows out the other keeps heating. (you shold improve yours) How about your results so far? How important is to use that aluminium foil to cover the light? best regards, Paulo
