Alaska hatchers..How is everyone doing? Baby pics !!!!!!

YEA Aimee!!! Crossing my fingers for an awesome hatch!

We have farted around with the hatcher and have found that the closer the thermometer is to the light (it's just resting on the wire under the light) it fluctuates one degree instead of five. Now we just have to problem shoot the
fact that it's 90 degrees on the end away from the light and 95 on the end with the light. But it sure seems to be running smoother now!

Bigger fan to circulate the air, or get a water wiggler to see what the internal egg temps are. The air temps can fluctuate, but the liquid in an egg won't change as much.

...AND... I am DYING to candle Deb's Marans eggs!!!!

Did we tell you that our big girl Tank had 11 kits?

Great minds think alike, right now it doesnt have a fan. But it will as soon as we go get a 12 volt converter....(I think thats what he called it)


11?? YEA! Now thats more like it!

Used computer store... old CPU fans work great. I get them for free in town, and then it's only $2-3 for a power plug that I splice into it.

I think that if you add that, your hatcher will be da bomb.

11 steel grey 3/4 FG... they're really cute. We still have one runtley that we feed 2-3 times by holding down momma and letting him feed, but it's fun.

4.6M in Meadow Lakes at 8:19am... is that what you guys felt?

Off to finish my chores before bed... last rounds with the water, take away the cornishX feed for the night, the little piranhas, and set chicken eggs.

Took two more orders for birds today, too... and anyone that wanted Bourbon Red Turkeys, I have 7 people on the tentative list so please confirm? Thanks!!

We just tore the old computer apart to get the fan out of it but we didnt seem to have the right voltage DC plug? Does your plug say what it is?
