This thread is nearly 2 yrs old. I have hatched thousands of chicks since I made these first incubators. I would have to dig through 2 yrs of archived photo cd's.

Many have hatched. I stand behind every single incubator I have made. :-)

Yes.

Instability and room temp changes.

Today is day #18! Stopped turning and boosting the humidity to 70%.

Another unexplained temp spike. I fear all but 1 of my eggs are dead. There isn't much change in the candling in any of the eggs except 1.

In the excitement of watching the posts with other egg shipments pipping and hatching I couldn't contain myself and I candled them again tonight. I am VERY sure I saw movement in 2 of the eggs. Tuesday they move to the hatcher. Squeeeee

I just checked after changing the batteries again - One temp reads 100.8 in the wiggler with 29% humidity. The other reads 100.4 in the wiggler and 35% humidity. I have no idea why the temp spiked. Or didn't.

Wouldn't you know it! I went in for the evening turn and one thermometer read 106 and another read 96. I put in new batteries. I just hang my head. But I am NOT giving up without a fight!

Today is day 14. I have candled them all today. This is the first candling of them all since 10/24. I have spot candled a couple when I added water for humidity. They are due to hatch friday of next week! Eggs 1 - 5 are from Silver 1. Very large dark mass in the egg 2. Very large dark mass in...

5 of the eggs in this batch of 11 are marked "Silver" one of speckledhen's Ameraucanas. The other 6 are unlabled. When candled the 5 show at least twice as much veining, the air cells look perfect and I can see the 'spot' that is the embryo. I wonder if this means those eggs will be more...

I have drilled holes for ventilation. These eggs are alive and need to breath. Fresh air is required in any hatch. This box has good air flow and I haven't put a fan in it. The bread box incubator does have a fan. I wired a cpu fan to an adaptor and it works just fine. I'll make a photo.

I don't know what kind of box that is. Can you show me a photo or show me one online somewhere?

I will be grey before the end of this! LOL

Temps are back up. Somebody pray and keep your fingers crossed for me.

LoneCowboy, misery LOVES company. Welcome to my world at the moment! LOL I have the styrofoam one still. It holds more than a full flat of eggs 2 1/2 to 3 doz eggs. For these few eggs I wanted to try something smaller.

It is ALWAYS something around here! I just went to turn the eggs for the afternoon and what do I find? I heat bulb is OUT and the temp is down to 80. Lickety split I got a new bulb in (the other was brand new too!) and temps are slowly rising. If I get anything out of this hatch it will be...

Good luck, BantyChickMom!

Yes, 11 Ameraucanas and all of them have veins as of last night. I know it is still early and I don't want to count my chicks before they hatch in all of this excitement - but I am just thrilled!!!!!

I was going to wait until friday night but I couldn't! I see veins in these 11 eggs!
