I candled 4 of the eggs on day 5 today, should I be concerned that I didn't see anything? I need to order a candler, my light isn't bright enough I don't think, but what do you think? The green eggs are hard to candle, but I've heard that if they glow red its a sign of viability? Is that true? I...

Not like vents, lol! Just slits in the sides. I described it as vents but I guess that wasn't a great description.

Well, I did this again, I stuck the bottom of the thermometer in the water, and didn't realize it had vents in the side. Longish story short, I totally broke it, the screen was blank and I could hear water sloshing inside it. I'm gonna order a new hydrometer then with temp included. Darn, you...

Se just the edge. I did try that, but didn't try very hard, I'll give it another go. Thank you! Now I at least know I'm trying to calibrate that one correctly.

Right now the Aquarium thermometer reads 99.7 and the Digital thermometer, (La-Corsse Technology) reads 97.6. Which one do I trust? I've been trusting the Aquarium thermometer more then the digital, since the aquarium thermometers are usually very arcuate. The incubator thermometer, reads 100.4...

Anyone have suggestions for the above? I am also not sure if my temperature is correct. I have two thermometers in there, one reads humidity to. I have an aquarium thermometer, and a La-Crosse Technology thermometer, (the link is the closest one I could find to the one I actually have. Same...

The friend of mine is bringing up a dozen eggs on Friday! There mixed, bantam Roo, and either possibilities of EE, and Asian black mothers! She will take the standard sized hens and extra roosters for meat, and we have a bunch of eggs, so enough left over if I loose some. I am also ordering...

Lol! I need someone to correct me, lol! I always do ti by mistake, haha! The mixed eggs are free, if I have a few mixed, and then a few pure, then I think I can be happy with that. I'm definitely going to have to send money on Polish and Silkie bantams for sure!

I'm going for an all bantam flock. Really just looking for pretty breeds lol, but I don't want to pay the $40 for every breed I get. If I did some mixes, then bought a few eggs, that would totally be worth it. Really, some of the eggs are only 15-20 for between 6-8 eggs, but then theirs the $20...

Thank you! I am very excited! Thanks for all the encouragement, I will jus have to see who it goes, try to find out what works best. I'll keep you updated!

Well, I haven't decided wether or not I want to pay $40 for 8 eggs on Ebay, or if I want to take eggs that have a bantam rooster, and standard hen, and take all the bantam chicks and the power of the bantam rooster who is a good friend of mine, can have the stander sized hens to raise for meat...

I'm really excited, like I said, I'm checking the bator every 20 minutes, and it doesn't' even have eggs in it! Lol! I don't know what I expect to see thats different from the last time. Lol!

True, I could, didn't think of that. I think I'm to impatient to incubate though to wait for another one.... 😂

I've been checking it about every 20 minutes this morning, I'm trying to get the hang of keeping the temp at 99.5 and the humidity between 47-48%. Its though, I don't know if its the incubator or what, but it seems like my humidity will be really low, I'll add a sponge that I squeezed a lot of...

Awesome! Thank you! Your not late at all! I'm just getting the incubator setup before I put eggs in, so I have about a week to go. I also read in an article that humidity is a little different compared to climate, so weighing the eggs and checking air cell size is the best way to tell if your...

It looks like the temperature is holding at 99.8 degrees. According to the thermometer I put on the inside. I haven't calibrated it yet, but I will definitely do that before setting eggs. What about humidity? What percent should that be? It looks like 35% right now, but its only been running for...

Got it, I will use a different fan to, but need to know which one to buy. Thanks for the info!

Just read your article! Its super helpful! Were did you buy the fan that sits in the bottom? I totally forgot about the sponge idea. I was very confused on how I would decrees humidity with water in the channels. I will use a cup and sponge. I would like to use th tuner if possible though...

Thank you! Is there a way to test the fan in the bator?

Hey guys! I got a Little Giant Deluxe incubator for Christmas, and am finally ready to incubate. I did want a Nurture right 360, and was slightly disappointed, but still excited none the less, I'm definitely not complaining. :celebrateI'm incubating! Finally! I am still getting eggs together for...
