➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[Nyla]

This is my newest homemade incubator. I've hatched around 200 quails using it with 2 of the little giant egg turners. I'm currently trying my Muscovy eggs in it right now. I'm only using 1 egg turner currently.

Is this trash now? I'm just noticing the red....did the extreme over heat from my test earlier ruin it?View attachment 1316677

I've heard of that happening to those thermos. I forget what to do to fix it...

Awesome! I love that I can now look at it and kinda know what I am looking at.

Top row/shelf...two black things...fans?
What's with the full water bottles on the bottom shelf?

I think I am going to frame it and save it forever to remind me of this experiment.

It will be an excellent tribute to you first experiment!

Thanks, let me Bee Why See and see if I can figure it out..

I will go back to Walmart in the morning and buy 5 or 10 like I was told to do when I was there the first time

I didn't understand on Saturday why I needed so many thermometers.
I understand now!

I am winging my incubator with an indoor outdoor weather station so no judgement here


Please, no one else judge me for this, I did calibrate

I can try tapping it, force or heat.
I am going to try the heat method first,
Just to see if it collects back together.
I don't think I will be able to trust this thing again.

The top row is two fans. One fan is under the light bulb on the left blowing air down, the second fan is blowing air from the right light bulb to the left, making the air circulate.

Want me to take pics of the fans?

The water bottles are to create mass to help the temps better. When there is more mass in the incubate, the heating elements don't have to work so hard to heat.
