    Remote Temperature Monitoring.

    With winter just around the corner, I was wondering if any of you use a wireless temperature monitoring device in your coop, that you check on your PC, iPad or iPhone.

    Lining incubator floor with newspaper for hatching? (CA Quails)

    I have this incubator. When you put the eggs in lockdown, you remove the "incubation grid", and you set the eggs on their side on the "hatching grid" (see photo). You pour water in the bottom so that it can evaporate and provide humidity. I have 5 California (Valley) quail eggs and it's day 17...

    Humidity drop!!!

    We are currently on day 21 and already have 3 healthy chicks which are now in the brooder and look to be enjoying themselves. But last night the incubator humidity dropped to 58 from 73 (not sure what time or for how long) will this affect the unhatched eggs still in the incubator?

    Hello, I've raised chickens for years now, but I've never hatched any eggs before. I had to go two weeks without collecting from my hens due to a serious illness.
