Day 4.
I peeked into the Hova-Bator instructions and here is what it says: About half way through incubation process, you will note that the temperature will be increasing and you will have to adjust thermostat down nearly one full turn. This is normal and is caused by the embryo forming into a chick and generating heat.
Makes me appreciate fully automatic incubators more.
Setup 1. Brinsea Mini Advance is running like a champ, turning eggs every 30 mins (I wanted to get as close in the interval as the broody quail would).
Setup 2. Hova-Bator Picture window model 1583. I think I got the thermostat stabilized, it floats between 100 and 101 which is good enough for me. Humidity is down to 30% - time to refill one of the water containers. I will try filling #3 to see what humidity it gets me. This bator has 4 water containers, 1 is the largest and 4 is the smallest.
p.s. Looked into Brinsea Maxi II - seems like a really good one. I want to get one, will be seeing when it makes an appearance on Brinsea's US web site.
