I am in lock down. I am setting up my brood box. can you tell me what temp. I should hold the box at? No pips yet. This is silly, I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas.
I put my second egg in today. The dimmer is a bit of a hassle. However, I have been able to keep my temp. with in the 98-101 range. Humidity has been a bit more of a challenge. I only have two layers now. I am not real confident my rooster is doing his job. I have a brood of copper black morans...
I built my incubator out of a styrofoam cheese box. I used a 70 watt bulb with a dimmer on it. I have a sponge in a bowl of water. My humidity is 59-60 % my temp is 98.8-99.8. I am open to any and all suggestions or comments.
Thank you,
Mike
I am brand new to this. I thought it would be easy. After reading these posts, I'm begining to lose confidence. I built my incubator from online instructions and can hold my temp. and humidity. I was going to wait until I had a dozen or so of eggs. NOT, I'm starting with one. Wish me luck.
