    How cold is too cold for the coop?

    For those of us who measure temperatures INSIDE the coop, do you have a "goal minimum temp" for the winter? While many factors influence the necessity of heating a coop (range of outdoor temp, size of flock and coop, breed/health/age of bird, coop insulation etc.), it seems that complicated...

    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. I have a wireless weather station that has a display in my HAM shack, but I would like something cheaper, just to keep an eyes...

    Incubator temperature apparently at 35,5

    So the thermometer in my incubator is busted, it never goes higher than 35, but I’ve been using a secondary thermometer. I can’t keep it in the incubator 24/7 because it’s too awkward to position. I’ve been taking readings every other day, and up until yesterday, it had been reading around 37.5...

    3 different Temp & Humidity readings!?!?!

    I have a Farm Innovators 4250 and I'm getting a different reading from it and two mini units on either side of the view window. What should I do? Go with the average of them all? Thanks Rob

    Please help ASAP!!

    Hi, I urgently need advice about humidity. Our humidity levels have been quite high throughout incubation (around 60 - 75%) and we’ve tried to lower it but then it goes to low, it’s like one extreme to the other. Anyways today is day 21 and it’s almost 8PM where I am (UK). The incubator...

    Conflicting thermometer hygrometer

    I have had poor results with incubating. The last hatch 3 weeks ago was 24 very expensive Icelandic eggs with 4 hatched chicks (one died on day 3.) I've just gotten a new thermometer hygrometer with good rating - a ThermoPro TP50 Digital Hygrometer Indoor Thermometer. It says I've got 70%...

    Little giant, low temps

    I’ve got a full incubator, it’s a little Giant styrofoam forced air one, the two thermometers in the Bator read 99.5, as does the digital one, but when I check it against my digital human thermometer it reads a bit low 96-97 degrees. Is this too awfully low? Should I try to adjust it up?I’m dry...

    Do you help your birds keep cool?

    My bigger birds learned about the delights of wading in water to cool off but my younger birds are staying under the low, bushy palms when temps hit 95 degrees. I just ordered this mister and I'm going to set it up over that palm. Have you tried a mister or do you have any other techniques for...

We have 14 Easter Egger Hens and they are currently 2 weeks and 2 days. We are starting to build the coop, now that we finally have nice...

    Chicks have stopped using heat plate

    Hi all, We have one week plus a day old chicks. They are Easter Eggers and we have 14 of them. We have been using the Premier 1 heating plate since day one and have no problems with them going under it and getting warm. We found one dead early in the morning today just outside of the heat...

    Heating plate vs heating lamp

    So we just got 15 chicks last week. They are one week old today. They are Easter Eggers and this morning we woke to one suddenly dead. They have all been behaving very good all week, eating drinking and we’ve been giving them electrolyte water and they are on organic starter feed with probiotics...

    Ideal Incubation and Lockdown Temperature and Humidity

    Hi everyone! So I've incubated and hatched some chicken eggs but lost some in the process. I'm worried that I might have done the temperature and humidity wrong. I've been searching the internet about the ideal temperature and humidity. Some say around 50-60% humidity with 102 degrees for...

    Keeping a Smaller Chick Warm

    Hi everyone: one of our new baby chicks is a little smaller and seems to be a little chillier than our other three . Any suggestions on how we can help warm it up more without overheating the others? Chicks are 8 days old and the brooder temp is at about 90°. The little one is still eating and...

    Incubation Temperature Range?

    Hi guys! I'm going to be attempting my first incubation hatch starting tomorrow. I have 6 eggs arriving by mail early tomorrow morning (around 6-7am) and then I'm going to sit them big side up for about 4 hours before I put them in the incubator. I have a Janoel12 incubator and have been working...

So i always read that the temperature must be kept exactly at a certain value (i remember 37.5°C, but i...

    Is 37.7 degrees Celsius too cold for Coturnix quail eggs?

    I’m trying to fine tune my homemade incubator to the right temperature before my eggs come in a week. I like to run my incubator a week ahead to check for malfunctions

    Final Count Down

    I am new to the forum, and in my reading I see many people losing eggs in the last few days. I have my first batch of incubator eggs hatching March 16th 2019 and now I am worried. I candled the eggs and everyone seems to be alive and well. We are now in the final 3 days and I don’t want to lose...

    Inconsistent temps for the first 3 days... still hatchable?

    I recently made my own incubator and I currently have 12 fertile eggs sitting in it. The first 3/4 days I couldn’t quite get the gauges perfect. The temperature was always between 35-40 and the humidity was around 30-40 percent. It is now stabilized at 37 degrees and 50 percent humidity. I can...
