Hi all! I'm sitting here running a temperature test on my mostly-completed homemade incubator. (Making sure everything works properly before I do final gluing/taping assembly.) So, in a moment of complete and bald-faced self-interest, I thought I'd come and ask a question of everyone here who's done this before:
What do you wish you'd known the first time you incubated eggs? What tricks and tips has experience taught you?
I'm going to be running my first test hatch with eggs from my current motley crew -- cuckoo marans roo and assorted rock hens. Should be a colorful bunch! Trying to make sure I have everything calibrated & working properly before setting eggs -- it's hard to be patient!!! So maybe I'll add a poll, just for fun
