September Hatch-A-Long!
I don't want to do anything if I don't have to but I am worried about the amount of air coming in that huge pip in the side. My fan can be shut of seperately from the incubator. I think I will turn it off and see if that slows down the drying of the membrane.- Steph83

September Hatch-A-Long!
It pipped through the side of the egg and was rocking like crazy for about 3 and a half hours so I rolled it over to get a better look and the beak was there in the hole and it was chirping at me. Then the beak wasn't there anymore about a half hour ago so I candled and it's head was in the air...- Steph83

Ok so I can't see the beak anymore through the pip so I candled and it has turned and is now pipped the air cell! It's beak is now more than half an inch above where it pipped. Hope it didnt get tired pipping that first hole and take so long pipping again that it suffocates or the gets shrink...- Steph83

No pips before bed. Then I woke up at 5:30 this morning to one wet chick chirping. Went in at 6:30 to see if it was dry and it was snuggling with a second wet chick. I swear they don't pip and zip they just explode out of their shells when your not looking :)- Steph83

Put both bators in lockdown last night. Managed to keep from candling till lockdown. Tossed 4 clears from the homemade bator. That leaves 12. 18 in the borrowed bator. Now I get to find out of my homemade bator is any better than the borrowed one I used last month. Temps went crazy when I upped...- Steph83

Yeah I have a whole new pack of bulbs just in case. Another question though. My two chicks from my August hatch (about a week old) are in the brooder and one seems to have some balance problems. Her head is constantly vibrating back and forth and she falls over a lot. Any idea what this is? I'm...- Steph83

Good luck!! It's my first time with a homemade bator too! My light has just started a constant flickering instead of switching on and off. The bulb seems to be working fine. Is it my thermostat causing this?- Steph83

Decided to come on over from the August hatch along since I didnt do so well on my first hatch. I had borrowed an incubator from a neighbor and just discovered that there was a problem with the thermometer in it. Too bad i didnt discover this until afterward. Got 2/20. I went ahead and built a...- Steph83

No. These were from mine. I think it's the ancient bator. I just made a new coolerbator. It's holding a steady temp now for 12 hours so I think I'll set more tomorrow- Steph83
