I'm liking that green one or the pink/maroonish looking one.

Wait, not seeing the knife holder, but seeing measuring holders.

eggs are now locked down. Humidity is up and all is looking well.

I agree, I try not go over 68%. I like to keep lockdown temp around 62-68%... roughly.

X2 on that!!! My bator is mainly on 62/63 and rarely higher..but if it does i dont mind but try and keep it lower!!

I finally moved my broody to her own broody cage in my garage. She was in a coop with 5 other chickens but I caught a young Cream Legbar cockerel standing on the broody Silkie and I decided it was definitely time to move her for the safety of herself and her eggs. She was very scared being relocated to a new place but luckily she settle right back on top of her eggs. She has 5 days to go.

That is a good way to set up the incubator for lockdown.

She sounds like she will be a great Mom too.

I love the incubator!

Did you start a thread for it? A lot of us would follow your hatching adventure.

Thanks! I guess I am nervous about it all coming together and having temp consistent throughout, but this will be the 4th incubator I've built and my others work really well. I hadn't worked on it for a while but finding duck eggs yesterday inspired me. Today I found 3 more beautiful blue eggs behind a fern... I don't know how life could get better than this! I probably won't be able to resist putting them in the incubator.

Those eggs look ready... are we praying to the God of Chickens (GOC)?
