Is your forecast for dryer times?

Look like the 10 day is pretty clear. Hi’s in the 30’s and low’s in the teens.

Received a dusting of snow overnight with a sheet of ice under neath.

We are at 30 degrees with a chance of flurries. And this is our high today.

About the same here.

Ugh. The fan went out on one of my cabinets Saturday. So I got online Saturday and ordered from Cutlers. (Which I have had great service from). Paid for UPS shipping and it would have been here yesterday. They shipped USPS, supposed to deliver today. Well USPS didn’t intake it until Tuesday, took 39hrs to go 45 mi and shows it got to Detroit at 8:39pm last night and still there. And we live in the country so mail service sucks anyway that why I try to utilize UPS and FedEx. And USPS tracking sucks.

That stinks.

That stinks.

I had to move eggs out of that cabinet and into hatchers while it was down. And now I’m gonna be crunched for room as I get ready to start hatching out of the other cabinets. May end up having to hatch in a cabinet which I prefer not to do due to the staggering. Oh well.

Good luck!

I have all internals to make 2 hatchers and another cabinet (minus fan assy which is coming with the replacement). Guess I need to get off my rear and get to making them.

I guess if I was smart I’d make this 4th cabinet into a hatcher only without a turner. Just 5 slide in hatching trays.

How do you heat your cabinet incubators?

Random for everyone:

So this has nothing to do with hatching, but check out this egg color; did I obtain an olive-egger by sheer accident? I think this is from a naked neck, though I could be wrong. Gen 1 was a naked neck/ameraucana cross. This is from gen 2, who could have been gotten by any number of roosters. How do I enhance this color? I have a pair of Silverrud's Blues I could put her in with.
