Quote: the incubator I'm using is actually the cheapest and crappiest incubator on the market. (it's like $20) The reason I used it was because my GOOD incubator was broken and I was in a rush to get these eggs into something, so I found this incubator in the corner of my room. It's horrible...

Quote: nice! do you have a similar setup as me?

HATCHING PARTY!!

Quote: CONGRATS!! Pictures? I have five out of twelve so far! YES!!! PICTURES ARE COMING!!!

THE FIRST ONE HATCHED ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO!!! It's black with some white. SO CUTE!! SO TINY!!! ZIPPED IN ONLY 9 MINUTES!!!

Quote: woah!! a pip!! so cute. i think the best feeling in the world is walking in on the first pip. the next best feeling is noticing that the pip is becoming a zip!! mine haven't pipped yet im not worried though. i'm not expecting any until tomorrow

It's ALMOST hatching time!! So far I've been obsessing over the eggs all day I added more water because it got to 50% somehow. I haven't seen any of them move so far but that's because they are laying on a towel and it will be pretty difficult to tell if they are moving, but there's really no...

Quote: nice!!

Quote: that's cool! how do you set up a webcam? My hubby did it he's my IT guy.. LOL. Basically he took an old tower we had and hooked it to an old monitor, then put the webcam on it and is hosting it thru one of our various websites that we run for our companies. It's not good quality and...

The eggs went into lockdown today!!! No more turning no more opening and humidity is at 65%!! Also, I started school today I miss summer break already. At least I'm not a freshman anymore There's a problem though. Even though the humidity has been 45% through incubation, the air cells seem...

Quote: What's NOT exciting about hatching chicks! I know how you feel about checking the eggs every 5 seconds I hope your's hatch too

Quote: thank you! what will you be setting?? I will be trying for the second time to hatch chamois Sebright eggs. My first go, only one made it to lockdown, then pipped internally at the wrong end of the egg so couldn't breathe. Needless to say, I found this out too late to save it. im...

I lowered the dimmer today because i thought it would be hot today but when i came back home after 6 hours the temperature was 97.9!!! AHH!!!

Quote: Sure!! The reason you can't see the heat sinks is because they're under the mesh and the eggs. I have these "reusable icecubes" that I bought. They are just mini closed packs of water that you freeze. I unfroze them and heated them up to incubation temperature and put 6 in there under...

I just took this picture. I haven't lost any more eggs since day 3. I just candled them and today is day 11. All 8 eggs have moving babies inside!! The temperature is staying at 100.3 which is a perfect temperature for still air. Humidity 40%. All going well! I've been trying to get the...

Quote: We had one of these years ago that came with 6 quail eggs. We actually had great results and all 6 hatched. We got it for grins and giggles not really expecting much and was so pleased it worked. The dimmer is a great idea! May I ask what you added as a mini heat sink? The thing...
