Yes - hopefully :) I have now calibrated the improved incubator. I have set a new batch of eggs. About 18 - I didn't even count them. I went knocking on random farm doors and found this guy (again doesn't speak english) but managed to get across what I wanted. So he gave me a bunch of eggs which...

I hope you have a better outcome than I did Spiderduck :) Good luck!

Sniff sniff... Chicky didn't make it. Died sometime between 11 and 12 at night. My last check was around 11, it was still pecking away and tweeting. When my alarm went off at 12 it was no longer breathing. I don't know what went wrong. The humidity was way up, chicky was not dried out, the temp...

Thank you :) Well.... good and bad news... Breech chicky is still working away. The beak is exposed and it seems ok. No unzipping yet though. The humidity is so high in there water is running down the window. The other three eggs which were ok this morning are now dead. After an egg-topsy on...

Hey! I am new to this forum and was just looking for some advice. I have a home made incubator which is somewhat crude, but all I can manage at the moment. It is a styrofoam cool box with a bunch of holes punched in which I put a computer fan into and a 14 watt light bulb. I manage the...
