It could be done also with PVC tubing!

This egg is supposed to go on lockdown tonight but I feel like the embryo is too small. Temp was 100-101 still air during the whole incubation. This is my last egg. The other 5 suddenly quit this week after lots of movement. One quit last night. Opinions? Was thinking about holding off until tomorrow night for lockdown. Thanks.

100-101 is too low for still air. 101.5-102 is what you need to run. So yes, that one will be delayed in development.... How does AC look per charts?

Found what I was looking for! Got the wiring done, and it didn't explode when I plugged it in so I think I'm good. Just gotta find another bulb and I'm ready to test run.

@phage Good morning, just so you know not believing in man-made global warming does not make one a science denier. It simply means some of us don't subscribe to that particular Theory. Note I said Theory and think big bang. Most progress in science has come from those who have questioned the norm.

@daxigait
Morning Dax, I do realize that.

But we are talking about eroding from inside, the very scaffolding that has "made this country great" and the envy of the world.


There is PLENTY that needs to be fixed in this country like poverty, jobs, and bureaucracy without targeting the best that the the USA does.

Thanks! I've seen that stuff. But last night we made a lot of progress. while I was sitting in bed watching Red Green on my iPad before bed, first Brooke came up and hung out on the bed with me, including letting me scratch her head and stroke/pet her. Then, the big shocker was that Opal came up (after Brooke went off to do something else) and came right up to me, and let me pet her and scratch her head and everything. She has never let me come close to even thinking about touching her. She did that "kneading and purring" thing both on my legs and then later on my hip. I got a photo with the iPad, but it's dark. Will share later.
