I have three Sussex with a Rooster, the hens have just started laying for the first time 2 month ago. If the Rooster is doing his job when would be the best time to take some eggs to run in an incubator.
This may or may not be of interest to people, my incubator was destroyed by a rat over winter. I removed the working parts from the old incubator and build a box out of 12 mm plywood and with 10 mm polystyrene in side . Made the size at the bottom to match the tray, but cut the overall height...
Thank's for the reply--No it has no fan, and when you say drift down how far is down? Is that correct about when the wafer clicks you turn it back 4 turns . I have a 1602 N Thermal air what doe's the thermal air mean
Little bit of help please, I am tring to hatch a seconded lot of eggs in my Hova- Bator 1602 thermal air, the first did not work out. When you wind the wafer on to the screw and turn it down till it clicks then tighten the nut and then wind it back 4 full turns---is that correct. At the moment...
Question Riverman, When you are starting to incubate your eggs do you let your incubator go till it gets to 100 turn then the red light and let it run for half a day, before putting the eggs in do you let it cool down
Yes it has a wafer thermostat , no fan, we have ducted heating via the ceiling in our home . It is the only room at night that holds its heat. I do have towels around it at night not covering the vent holds. Because with only 10 eggs I had thought by taking up the extra space inside would not...
I have an old 1602N Thermal Hava- Bator incubator, which at times the temp; go down to 97 and if not stopped will go up to 101. The low temp; is at night and the rise is during the day. My question is if I lined the incubator with ploystyrene would I have a better chance of keeping an even...
Hi I have the same problem with the temp;,( what I think is a problem ) I can set the light to come on at 37.5, but during the night it will go down to 36.6 before going back up, then during the day it will go up to 38.4 before going back down. I have only used the machine once before and it...
I have a 1602NThermal Air Hova-Bator incubator with a KTJ Hygrometer and Thermomter with the probe sitting level with the eggs. I can set the red light to turn off at 37.5 but the temp; will just keep rising to 38.0 then when it falls and the light comes on the temp; drops to 37.0 before it...
I just purchased a Analogue Incubator Hygrometer & Thermometer but if I put two of the normal thermometer (red liquid) the two give me 9-10 degree higher. Is there a reason for this.
