    Average Hatch Rate Thread

    I've just finished hatching my first batch of the year. I changed my approach just a bit and got stellar results. First I did not add any water to the incubator at all until one day before hatching. Average humidity during this time was 27%. I also did not open the incubator at all during this...

    Monitoring Egg Shell Temp. not incubator temp. for better hatch results

    I was hoping that this would perhaps have a broader level of interest. I'm actually trying to make things less complicated. While most folks I'm sure measure the air temp in their incubators, as I did, it does not mean that this is the best way to do things. The problem with measuring air...

    Monitoring Egg Shell Temp. not incubator temp. for better hatch results

    Hi! I've recently been reading quite a bit about commercial incubation methods and have been looking to see if its possible to bring them a Hova-Bator, Little Giant, or similar such device, even some of the more sophisticated incubators that some have built and shared on this forum. Not...

    Precision Incubator with advanced temperature and humidity control

    I think that perhaps the right time to write a how too on the temp/humidity controller is after I've gotten through this current hatch. There are already several changes I would make to the set up. In my last post showing the 10 hr temperature chart one can see that there was a cycling of the...

    Precision Incubator with advanced temperature and humidity control

    I've been tracking the temperature for about 10 hours or so. The blue trace is the air temp and the green trace is the egg shell temp. Here are the results: This looks like the best I can do with this setup.37.75 +/- 0.25 C (99.95 +/-0.45 F) egg shell temp. The internal egg temp will I think...

    Precision Incubator with advanced temperature and humidity control

    This is very much an experimental setup, so I'm still making minor adjustments to the position of things. Its now been 5 hours or so and the eggs have reached there target temp of 37.8 C (100.04 F). The air is circulated using a small fan. The egg with the attached sensor is off to the side of...

    Precision Incubator with advanced temperature and humidity control

    Hi! I recently built my own incubator and I thought I would share my results for those that might be interested. I'm incubating a mixture of mostly Black Copper Maran and Ameraucana eggs, with a few Welsummer and White Egg layer eggs thrown in to make up the numbers. This is day one (3...
