    Done with light bulbs

    I've been out of town for a few days and got home today to find that 2 of the 3 light bulbs were out in my incubator. Its in my garage and takes at least 2 to hold temp. I put brand new GE bulbs in before I left to avoid this problem. I went ahead and ordered a GQF element and cant wait to get...

    Anybody tried this thermostat?

    Well I decided to buy a solid state relay that I will switch on and off with my current controller and wire my lights to it. This should give me the same reliability of a solid state controller. It is an opto 22 which I have seen before and know to be a quality product. The controller has to...

    Anybody tried this thermostat?

    I am looking at replacing the thermostat on my bator and wondering if anybody has tried one of these. I like that it has the triac output but would miss my digital readout. I could actually use my current controller as a back up I guess though. I am wanting to get away from anything with a relay...

    1 outa 13 aint bad

    I just hatched 1 egg out of 13 ebay eggs. 2 of the 13 were broke and the other 10 did not even develop. Tossed those after about 10 days. My lone developer did hatch this morning. Next year I will buy chicks if I want a new breed.

    Trampoline Coop and run

    I am building a coop and run out of some old trampoline frames. My dad had already made a shed out of 2 trampolines and all I have to do is reconstruct it at my place. Its uses half of the frame for a truss to make a half round building. It is 12 X 15 and I have enough frames to add 16 X 15 run...

    Home-made cabinet incubator temp question *HATCHING*

    I think the elements are too small for a bator that big. I think that the lg elements are only like 25 watts. You really need a couple hundred watts of heating. Some people have a small light that stays on all of the time that is small enough so that it cant heat the bator alone and then heating...

    *** OKIES in the BYC ***

    I finally won some polish eggs off of ebay yesterday. Hopefully I will hatch enough to get a qaud or so. They are supposed to be mostly golden laced with some silver laced and some others. It sure would be cool if I hatched enough to get golden and silver.

    Fast feedback needed! PLEASE help!

    All you can do is remove water. Did you spill any? If you did and now have it cleaned up then you may have to just wait a bit. You could open it for a min or 2 which will help a little...It wont hurt the eggs.
