Update: they responded back to me finally and it sounds like they didn’t believe me one bit about the chick being inside the egg so I dug it back out and took a pic of it as proof I hated doing that but yeah..:hmm
They said they’d send me replacements so let’s hope they do such a shame I had to...
See that’s what I’m clinging to that it was an oops from perhaps a male sitting on an egg, but others I’ve talked to have said otherwise that there was no easy way to mistake something as this..
I really hope the seller gets back to me and makes things right otherwise I will be calling eBay to...
So the title explains things nicely but a few days ago I got three emu hatching eggs from someone on eBay, today my second egg went bad of the three meaning I have just one left, I was going to clean this egg out and upon opening I realized there was a fully formed emu chick inside! It was...
Both temp and humidity seem to be at a somewhat stable rate now that I added that cap of water.
I know it’s probably not done stabilizing yet but I’ve been keeping an eye on it
I did add a small cap of water to the incubator so far it’s risen but not much and is in the “safe” range I turned the humdikit off if the cap doesn’t work I’m gonna just do a dry hatch it’s humid enough here as is
So I have a govee and I like watching my temperature and humidity with it and I noticed this trend of “spikes” going on.. I have a humidikit and have it set where under 30% humidity it will turn on, when it does the humidity goes up to the 40s and drops back down creating these spikes.
Really I...
So I had three eggs one went bad the other two I weighed in today lost a gram each, is this within daily weight loss for emu eggs?
Egg 1 was 311g egg 2 was 446g initially before incubating.
Now day three egg 1 is 310g
Egg 2 is 445g
I did calculations according to emu farmers handbook and the...
I followed their Ice bath instructions but I’ll do it again to be safe with the pen when it gets here still I found a medical thermometer that reads fore heads and scanned my eggs they read 97
I should update here: I bought a thermoworks outward payed the extra shipping to get in one business day (I hope) I am really concerned about my incubators temperature which therms I should be trusting I’ve done multiple ice water tests and the inkbirds all read 33. Something degrees but I have...
Do the
Do the outward pens by thermworks also work good? I see some people recommend the outward one on here I may just get one because either when I was ice testing my incutherm or what but I think water got into it and messed it up even though I had the probe covered.
The inkbirds read a...
See I thought about getting one of those but with shipping it was 50 something bucks which I was able to use to get all the ones I currently have right now..
The incutherm + is calibrated to be + or - 1 and when I did the ice test it was 33 degrees so that tells me mine reads +1 than the actual...
So you’re saying the magical incutherm + could be the incorrect one? I salt tested some of the inkbirds they all read 75%, again in the freezer was 32 I assumed regardless if it was ice water or a freezer it would be 32 degrees but of course I’m no expert.
Really upsetting if that incutherm is...
Currently warming up my hovabator for setting some emu eggs tomorrow I started it this morning humidity has been a stable 36-42% but temperature I’m a bit confused on.
I have seven inkbird ith-10s all reading the same humidity and temperature I got them from eBay, I have only two of them in my...
Since they’re non calibratable how do you read them?? how do you know they’re set accurately? Do you just take an average % from them..?
I looked at the listing it said it came from medical supplies and I know those people need like accurate stuff but you never know..
Also edit: I bought some...
Thanks for the tip, I’m gonna try the crushed ice when the incutherm comes in the mail also going to do the salt test for humidity, also considering buying a humidikit but I want opinions first..
Also seen people use govees to monitor but problem is I’d only use it if I’m outside my house and if...
So I recently bought a hovabator 3270 and an incutherm pro therm/hydrometer and doing all the research before I start hatching as I’ll be doing emu eggs and want the most accurate readings possible..
I saw the salt test with hydrometers, still confused..
What reading am I supposed to be using...
