You stole my bator!! I want it backk LOL

Can people post the size of your bator 4.75 cubic feet number of holes three top three bottom (round) size of holes (1 inch) incubator humidity levels (45 RH) hatcher humidity levels (or last 3 days in bator) (55rh) Bator room humidity level (25rh) hatch rates 80% home raised 20%...

Bearded now you have gone all scientific and techy on us. I would much rather live in oblivious ignorance. Seriously the more I think about it I think your point about atmospheric pressure is valid. But still as air circulates around in the incubator and has very littel fresh air coming in...

YOu dont think prehumdifying the air would allow you to keep the bator vents open more fully thereby providing more fresh air and O2? hmmm?? You would think so. My guess is that in commercial incubation systems the whole atmospheric situation is handled so that it is the same no matter where...

Thats thinkin outside the box right there. I may just try that. My son had a ton of aquariums back in the day. I bet there is a 20 gallon tank hanging around here Might just try that. Not sure about the algae thing.

Are you going to open the bator (oh horrors) or will do you mist through the vents. I am not certain that opening the incubator for a moment is as awful as many tell us, but certainly conventional wisdom tells us not to open for the last three days.

My next step is going to be to build a pre warming and and pre humidification chamber. I will have a box? of sorts that attaches to the inlet vent of the bator. I am thinking a 150 watt element and a wafer therm that is set for about 95 degrees. I will also have a pan of water or a drip...

yep Fraser is getting up there. Takes some hardy stock to survive those elements. "Highaltitudechicks" I would reccommend calibrating that hygromter before you even think about using it. Mine were off a lot from the beginning. I hatch at about 5200 ft and with local eggs no problem but...

Quote: I wish I could tell you I have had great hatches on shipped eggs but gotta tell you I have not. I have great success with my own eggs. It is one of the reasons I continue to seek an answer for improved success with shipped eggs. I do beleive that our elevation and arid climate create...

This is one of the more intelligent threads we have had on this forum It is great. The pre humidification chamber makes so much sense. I could run a humidifier and humidify the whole room but I am not wild about running just one more big old fan for that purpose. So ya thing we could make...

Dancing I have seriously considered adding a bit of o2 into my incubator. I have not really looked into it. I am not sure but one may need some kind of permit or perscription for oxygen??

Yes I am but I am in the witness protection program and cannot reveal my whereabouts LOL. I am north of Denver. Is it ever going to rain or snow?? Wow dry dry dry

There was a post some time ago about managing the shrink (dehydration) as eggs develop. The poster indicated that manging the air sac was the primary element for successful hatches. I beleive there was even a chart spread sheet developed for weighing eggs and recording the weight loss...
