Here's the diagram of the two most common form factors of humidity sensor module that are of a decent quality. The blue ones are basic, and the one made for the Nurture Right 360 are difficult to find, and they're not placed closely enough to the eggs.
Here's what you need for replacing the humidity sensor with one that doesn't fit in the slot. The jumper wires also allow the sensor to be much closer to the eggs, which gives a more accurate reading. One pin on most humidity sensors is a dead pin, and doesn't do anything. I've never replaced...
Any 2 pin temperature sensor probe will work, but if it has the metal heads you'll have to drill the hole in the housing slightly larger, and then replace the waterproof tape.

I'd personally only use the medicated recipe for meat birds. Thiamine deficiency can be pretty bad for chickens. But yeah, I use the starter/grower, 16% layer feed, and I give mine the high protein scratch as well. It's supposed to be given every other day, but I give it daily since I have...
I trim my Wyandotte hens AND roosters, but I don't trim my White Leghorns. It does seem to increase fertilization in at least the nasty chickens that have turds built up around the vent, as it leaves nowhere to build up, but the other ones seem to be only slightly more successful. The big part...
Google "ac12v 50hz 0.9 hr min motor." Basically any motor that matches those criteria will work. Make sure it's a D shaft as well. This one should work.

Yeah. Sorry about that. I saw how old it was, but I just figured since I was looking, someone else would eventually. And yeah, thrift stores are amazing. 😁
Literally any adapter that has an output of 12v 5a and a connector that is 5.5mm by 2.5mm works. You can dig them out of value bins at thrift stores. I found 4 replacements in a day. And if only the voltage and amperage matches, but not the connector, you can add a connector from Amazon or Ebay...

That's odd. I have some chicks I hatched from some chickens I purchased from a Cackle Hatchery breeder in Lebanon, MO. Two of them have crossed beaks. The parents were a Columbian Wyandotte hen and a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. Two separate hatchings and each hatching I had very low fertility and...
I just tried this with my 5 Wyandotte crosses at a week old. They're all mixed between my Silver Laced Red rooster and Silver Laced Red, Columbian, Splash Laced Red, and Rhode Island Red. I don't know for certain which chicks are from which as I didn't mark them, but I'm pretty sure I have a RIR...
So I'm having issues controlling the humidity in my Nurture Right 360. I have had an issue for the first 4 days of this incubation, and it's been skyrocketing up to the mid 60s at times. If I switch to a dry hatch right now, will it help? Is it too late? Will it make any difference if I...
Isn't it inconclusive without knowing the weight of the eggs before incubation? After all, a smaller egg will hatch a smaller chick, and an egg that doesn't have enough room can trap the chick as well. Here's a link for White Leghorns. I'm pretty sure you can find optimal hatching egg sizes for...
I'm going to be washing mine and treating them with peroxide from now on. I'm losing too many eggs from the varieties I'm attempting to incubate. I have an older hen that ALWAYS defecates on her eggs, and I'm really wanting to hatch her eggs before it's too late. Also, the bloom can be a...
Nice! Thank you very much. I'll definitely read that. Last night I read a patent on Google titled "Method for sanitizing and improving the hatchability of hatchery eggs." Fairly technical, but it wasn't too difficult to figure out. That paper said that was their suggestion as well.
I use a modified mini fridge for storing my eggs. I removed the thermostat entirely, connected the 2 wires (this only works with a 2 wire thermostat I believe), and replaced the old thermostat with an inline LUX WIN100 digital thermostat. There are cheaper digital thermostats at Walmart as well...
So should the sanitizing be done BEFORE storing the eggs in my egg fridge, or AFTER storage but BEFORE incubation? I don't have enough chickens to fill my 22 egg incubator without saving them up for a few days.
