    Remember the guy at work incubating the goose egg in a box??

    3 months? ok, time for lockdown. tell him to raise the humidity to 70% and don't open the box until they hatch. should be any day now gw

    Brinsea mini advance

    yea, me too as posted in a different thread. when i was a young pip i had two incubators - neither would hold a steady temperature; for humidity - who knows; needless to say i didn't have very many successful hatches. however, with the mini advance, i am expecting much much better...

    New Incubator!!!:d

    the instructions said to fill one side to start; then both sides after day 18. a hygrometer would take the guess work out of it. gw

    Things getting so bad

    i agree with the comments regarding over restrictiveness; unfortunately, we (not literally we) bring it on ourselves. the few complainers have a much louder voice than the majority (squeaky wheel gets the oil) and the "concerned" city councilman is more than happy to come up with some new...
