You can check and calibrate this just as easily as any other.

Ball of modelling clay in egg tray .... leave it to reach temp then take it's temp. with a medical thermometer.

I think I will be ok

this thing is steady i dont think the temp has moved at all! this is great

I will have to get a lot more eggs

Ok this morning I decided to buy me a cabinet incubator. Came across this thread and made up my mind it has to be a dickey. All around it looks a lot better made. I know this is a dumb question but can you fill one tray a week, then when all the trays are full and it time to hatch can you put the first tray you set in the hatcher tray and do it all at the same time. I'm thinking I will probably have to use my styro's to hatch in but was just wondering what other people do.

with my sporstman i can fit 2 trays on each rack,, and you can either set a tray a week, or a rack a week,, but over 100 eggs dont fit in the hatcher good, so i never did more then 100 hatching at a time.
the way my stupid racks are, you really cant just let them hatch in the trays,, they say you can, but they fall and all end up in the hatcher anyways

You mean like raining chicks? That's kinda disturbing, Mr. Hippie!!! LOL Do you just move the ones that are ready to hatch into the hatcher tray? That sounds easy enough. Then you could just hatch perpetually?
