I'm setting Serama eggs tomorrow for the EHAL! Can't wait!
I do have a question though....

How do you lower the humidity on the bator? I am wanting the humidity to be at 45% until lockdown, but it is currently at a steady 50%.

A stocking of dry rice.

I’m literally watching paint dry. May put another coat on it today. I painted the roof to the green house as it was too hot in there. Much better now.

It may take a day to make a difference. 50 isn’t too bad I usually run mine at 40

I'm torn between opaque white or clear plastic roof panels for the same reason. Greenhouse will be located on the west side of the house, up against the foundation. It won't get any sun 'til it's overhead, then full bore 'til dusk. Concerned clear would be too hot, and the white not warm enough.

I’m hoping this will stop the insane heat. It did feel better in there. However it’s not summer yet. Some shade from trees not enough.

Almost forgot my brother has a super old one. It’s now opaque due to sun. During the summer it’s well over 100 in there.
