Ooh enola, this is really spooky but my dog is being just the same today. He is skulking round the house and won't go outside, hiding behind the sofa. Has eaten his food though just like yours. Very very weird

Granny x2 try a new one. I got a lizard/reptile hygrometer for my original incubator, it was very cheap but did the job well. Sticky chicks Definatly point to wonky humidity.

The best thermometer/hygrometer I've found are ones from incubator warehous . And I've bought A LOT!!

Hi granny how's things? Got any more eggs set yet? I'm resisting for now as the shed is still full. A friend has been trying to give me some duck eggs to put in, she set some yesterday in her incubator. Ducks are just too messy though for me. I would love some though as they are super cute as ducklings. How's your chicks all ok I hope? Been lovely weather here I'm not sure how long it will last though!! Probably not long enough as it is the UK.

Hi Yorkshire !! no more eggs set. i am in the same shape as you. all my spots are full. babies are doing great ! all white so far. I agree about the ducks. too cute then too messy. hahaa, chickens are bad enough. rain has been falling and this clay soil holds a lot of stink.

Well I have interesting news. I got 90 shipped eggs a month ago but did all my Styrofoam Bator's and bought an incuview and an incukit and built my own (very easy) I had a 85% hatch rate this time verses a 40% last tim . Also got their thermometer/hygrometer they all worked great!! I have 63 babies running around...I've already sold 20+ babies

Congratulations That's a great hatch at 85%. Enjoy your new babies 63 must be quite a handful. So pleased your home made incubator has worked well.

Sorry about your chick granny Sometimes there are no reasons and it's just nature. Hope the other 2 are well?
