I am pulling my hair out with this homemade hatcher, it goes from 98-101 with a 60 watt bulb...with a 40 watt it only goes to 96.9

What are you hatching Deb?

Those temperature swings are fine, Deb... I use a 40 watt in mine, and adjust the thermostat until the average temp is right around 99F. Use a water-wiggler with a temperature probe if you want to know what the eggs are reading.

We have Dellies and BCM's in the bator, if all goes well. I just don't like the idea of using this new hatcher idea right now with it not
reading right but I'll try it. I have to....hubby made it for me

Water wiggler? Is this something I can get here?

You can make a homemade one.
Take a quart size freezer ziplock bag. Fill it about 3-4 full of water and zip it shut with the air removed.
Fold it in half, and sitck the thermometer probe in between the folds. Then tape it so it will not come apart.
Some people take a plastic easter egg, and fill it with silicone. When its set, you can stick the probe in that.

So I got the bator out and plugged in warming up for about 24 hrs its holding a temp great as always and the hubby comes out and says "Hey I just bought you that humidity pump thingy, so do you have to wait for that or can you start without it?" So I guess Ill be waiting a few days to start my eggs.....or maybe I can get some eggs shipped to me in time

So anyone got any BBS Orps or Brahama eggs around?

 

[MissDeb]
