    Temp and humidity changes during incubation

    Has anyone had their bator temps go down by a bit say a week into the process? At day seven my humidity level plummeted from about 55% to 30 and the temp went down a degree. I of course adjusted it. Just curious. Thanks!!

    HovaBator 1588

    Will I be disappointed in this one? I've had to lesser pricey ones and didn't have issues. I had a good chicken mentor tell me for the price (paid $230 for turner, candler and bator) I should do a Brinsea. I only plan on a hatch or two yearly.

    SAND in coop/run

    Hi all, I've been researching old posts and Googling 'sand in chicken coop.' Who uses it, and where? In the coop or just in the run? My coops are built off the ground in a small barn/shed. My runs are on the small side, which is why I became interested in using sand for aesthetic purposes...
