Mikes you are really going to lock down now? I'm going to wait till tommorow I think just to give the late bloomers some more time, my bantums, are cochins and on the cochin thread everyone had them hatch at different times. I will be here all day tomorrow to keep an eye on them just in case. Good luck everyone

I think I have a 1602 Or something. I just went to check it again. It was 100.4 and while I stood there within a 5 min window it climbed to 101.7. Nothing in the room had changed. Its worse than my LG!!!!

My Brinsea is Amzing!!!! It stays between 99.5-99.7 never higher, never lower and its in the same room as my LG which jumps all over the place so my location theory is out the window! It sits on a shel like a beautiful picture fram next to all my farming books! It just tilted my way and says 99.7 and 32% humidity. My plans may need to change about putting these barnyard mix eggs in the Hovabator.​

Nothing happening as of yet, however, it did take me till 530am to get the temperature back up to 99.5 after taking the turner out, I am EXHAUSTED!

I have a 1602 and I did ok with mine (hopefully)...We used to breed "bearded dragons" so I have had some experience with using it......Sorry you are having a time with yours...

Here's a chick fix for everyone in lockdown. These arrived this morning from Murray McMurray:


D'Uccles (Mille Fleur and Porcelain) and one Fayoumi:

Silver Gray Dorkings, Speckled Sussex, and in the corner my free mystery chick -- a Buff Cochin!

Sending happy hatching thoughts your way --

I now have 13 chicks hatched and doing well. I had 14 but one was acting a little off and was dead when we came home from church. I am disappointed in my quail hatch though. Still only have 4 and none of the other 13 are pipping or moving.

. Oh well 4 more is still more to add to my other three. Hoping they are all hens!

Good luck with everyone going to lockdown! I forgot to mention that 2 more of my chick eggs are pipping!
