Haha, I cut an empty toilet paper roll lengthwise and rerolled it smaller, taped it, and stuck it over an LED flashlight.

It's super effective.

This is great! What is the white tip made of? Just tape?

Saris, I'm sorry you're down with a bug! I hate that!!!

Well, I bit the bullet...........I ordered a bator that holds more eggs. The homemade one with the LG is just a pain to keep up with.........and 13 americana ee eggs........

I'll be heading on over to BYC Hatchers Anonymous soon ya'll

Especially if I run into any selling issues but so far it's going really well.

Love seeing all the pips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you order?

I ordered the 96 egg bator off ebay. I didn't know about the plastic BUT the room I have the bators in now stays at 99 with the heater in it. I know............I went over the edge............and I get requests for EE's more than any other bird so I ordered 13 eggs to hatch in hopes of getting a roo for Spring......I only have two EEs and both are excellent layers.

I'm ok as long as they keep selling.........if I disappear that means sweet hubs looked out and saw a few hundred chickens from lack of sales............

This is really cool though, feeds my habit and keeps me busy. I now have orders for fuzzy butts that haven't hatched yet...............all are dry incubated........but it still stays 35-45%..Out of 3 hygrometers my thoughts are it is staying at 35% fairly steady. I did the salt test on them and all have markings of how off they truly are. I guess I'm betting and taking a chance at the various readings but you would think with 3 tested the middle is fairly close

   Get that fever down, then you will feel better, this grandma telling you so.   Chicken noodle soup, the whole thing..the reason why they say chicken noodle soup is because it has a lot of fluid in it, and, you can eat just a little if that's all you feel like doing.  Lots of fluid.  Hear grandma?  Ya hear?

My husband is pumping me full of Tylenol and water. I'm sure we'll have chicken something for dinner, thanks Grandma.

i was getting this problem too in lock down...i knew the humidity needed to go up, but then it went over the top and you have to sacrifice heat to get the wet out. does anyone 'dry incubate'?
