I have a GQF hatcher. I am having trouble keeping the humidity up above 60 %. I have some bantam eggs hatching and the shell is stuck to several of them. All ports on the back are closed and I have a 3 1/2 inch high and several inches long container full of water. What can I do to increase...
That is not front and back thermostats. The wafer thermostat is only used if the electric one goes out. The person who sold me mine could not get the temperature to go under 102. He thought there was a problem with it. I finally figured it out. Only use the wafer as a back up in case the...
When I got mine used it came with no booklet as far as operating. GQF sent me one with all the operating info I needed. Do you have an iuncubator or hatcher?
I can't download the site to see your incubator. I have a GQF hatcher with an electric thermostat and wafer thermostat. It has a plexiglass door. Approx 650.00 for it. I bought it used and have operated it with the hydrometer stuck to the shelf with great results. I can put in 30 eggs and get...
I bought a used one also and had the same problem. I went to Wal Mart and purchased a hydrometer that shows temp and humidity. I have hatched probably 500 eggs by now with remarkable hatch rate.
I have pharaoh quail. Some days I get 15 eggs(30 hens), some days 3 eggs, and have gotten 20 something already. Here is my question...My neighbor who lives about 300 yards from me just got 27 females and 9 males. He got them on 9/2/12 It has been 3 weeks + and in the last 6 days he only gets one...
Maybe you can help me. Everything I have read has been very informative and helpful. I do have a problem though you might be able to help with. On Mon. 7/23 I was able to hatch 21 pharaohs out of 30. The problem I have is as of today 4 has died. One day before they died they started having...
Need a little help. I just hatched 21 out of 30 pharaoh quail eggs. A few people I know said this is pretty good. Now here is my dilemma. So far 3 has died and today their might be a 4th. They were hatched on Monday 7-23. Right before each one died they went into a seizure. Flipping and flopping...
I keep a light on my chicks, but is there a certain temp that should be maintained? I think it got too hot in my barn during the day(light off) and so far 3 of my six chicks have died. I am new at this and sure hate to start out like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx...
Seems the highest I can get my humidity level in my incubator is 64%. Is this sufficient all the way through or how can I increase it.I have the vents closed off with a full tray of water. Appreciate any tips. Thx....
Just when you think it's figured out...not...! I appreciate all the help with my GQF. But here is my dilemma now. I have it in my wooden room that has good ventilation but a metal roof. Once everybody helped me in figuring out the problem, it maintained 99-100 degrees till today. Since it is so...
