There are 5 of them and they are 8 weeks old and I got them from Cackle Hatchery. I'll tell you what I think they are. And you can tell me your opinion. Not sure if what I think are pullets are pullets. I ordered straight run.
I think this one is a pullet but I'm not sure.
Pullets not...
Well. I guess it does stabilize but it's not the range I want. I either get 99.5 to 100.6 or 98.6ish to 99.4. Are either of these ranges ok? I might be over thinking it.
I would like 99 to 99.5 but just can't seem to get it with the wafer thermostat .
Not sure how successful this hatch is going to be. I got 12 Wyandotte bantam eggs from the people I buy feed from and then I set 24 Easter Egger eggs from my flock. And I have 1 NJ rooster over 39 hens. So I know not all of them will be fertile. I couldn't wait so I candles them last night...
Yes, I was wanting to test it but I like the success I've had. So I'm running it between 99.1 and 99.5 . The low end is what I'm getting just before it turns on to warm up and it shuts off at 99.5. Previously I ran it a little high for being circulated air according to the hatching info here on...
I'm on my 3 rd hatch with a Hovabator 1602n with a fan. I have a hygrometer/thermometer that i keep inside. My first two hatches I did good.
1st Hatch last year: I set 12 eggs. Only 11 where fertile. All 11 hatched healthy. Ended up with 8 hens and 3 roos. Ran temps a little high between 99.5...
