Hmmmmm

and can you still use some of them innards ??

As a lubricant.. to make kids look like Zombies for Halloween,,, As a natural sandwich spread, mixed with Miracle Whip it's way better than tuna


As to the upgrade. I am not sure how it is going. It is a lot more work than I planned on it being. I have 3 1202's. 4 counting the hatcher. one of them the hatcher come with electronic thermostats and have a wafer in them for safety. kind of. The hatcher has it for safety hooked in series, the incubator looks as if the wafer has never been hooked up, it is just there.

I have had trouble controlling the temps in it and am replacing with a cheap digital. Way more work and thinking than I had hoped for. Thinking is not my strong suit these days. I wanted it to be easy. GQF makes a digital to replace the old electronic one I have but they want 125 bucks for them, I paid 14 for the one I have (yes I am cheap). It requires an almost full rewire though to get it in. I hope to finish it today. This thermostat claims less than a half degree variation.


The one I ended up using for my hatch on the 10th (less than week) YAY!!! has the front wafer burnt out and I am controlling the temps on the back wafer. I bought a digital for it almost 2 years ago. I might get it in this year, it is an expensive Spyder Digital and controls to within 1 tenth of a degree. Wiring it should not be as hard as the one I am doing.

With the wafers I have as spares and the good ones I am replacing I should have enough for the other incubators for years. I will be reading those threads to see if I can learn anything. But I am a slow learner, after all I never learned enough yet to trade the WWD in on a new model that comes without a broom...

BTW I did admit to being a hatching addict. All total I have 9 incubators but 5 of them are foam and I only use those for hatching or brooding the first couple days now.

I could think and reason better if I was not inundated with pictures of dux! Every time I see a dux it delays me another day.

I dont admit to being a hatch addict only sometimes do I bring almost all the bators upstairs and take of the livingroom, however right now eight pups are taking it over so only one is up here and the others are cold and aching for me to start them up, I swear I hear them groaning down there!!!

LMAO you werent kidding!!! He is hecka POOPY ROO!!! ha ha ha!!!! can you take that roost bar down?

LOL he's like a thousand times cleaner than normal. It's just crowded right now. The cochins are sleeping in the nest boxes. But ducks should have a new house by the weekend, then cochins, silkie, and silkie mixes can go to the tractor. Once I get the honas in their pen and the HRIR in theirs, he'll have plenty of room to stay clean. Also, hiccup in my OE plan. I got an egg from Mavis yesterday and it's not the color I remembered/expected. It's pinkish. Think I'll still get good color with that OE marans roo? Top left egg.
