nope need to be at hospital at noon, surgery 230 and a few hours he said till recovery, told the family to stay home this day, my dad is running me up and dropping me off at the door, if he tries to go in with me Imma have a battle, as he is as mean n stubborn as I am

and thank you

OMG yes, you can barely keep your eyes open its so strong!

If my daughter was having surgery, I would not care how old she is or how much she does not want me there. I would be there... I am 100% behind your Dad staying there! Accept it, he loves you and is worried. You are his little girl, He sees you in his mind as a toddler. This I know well.


Best to you!

Quote: How do I calibrate it? Trying not to open it, it's the same hygrometer I always use, never thought about it not being right.

I filled up the water pan when I locked down yesterday, added the two others shortly after. Water pan filled up with a tube, so I don't have to open it. It apparently got up to 64% at some point, guessing cause I filled with really warm water, but went back down.

Quote: The one below is shallow, and probably at least 7 x 12 inches of surface area. Two above are only deep to be safe for chicks, both are at least 6 x 6 inches in surface area. Cannot add sponge to shallow pan down below, can't reach it without moving eggs and haven't made necessary modifications for board and styro in front of it to swing away (lesson learned for next time) to allow for access.
I guess I will try throwing some damp towels in there.

From what you are saying I am guessing you are using a foamy..

Try setting a pan of water under the incubator, They seem to pull the moisture from the pan when I have done that......Good luck

I NEED HELP!!! Can't get my humidity up past 52%, using a BIG pan down below, added two Tupperware at egg level (tall enough Tupperware so no drowning occurs if they hatch while I'm at work). Put a sponge in one of the tupperwares. Day 19 today. What should I do?

do you have accumulation on the viewing area? you did calibrate, dont panic, read what everyone tells you to try. its all good!
