EGGXIETY!! FIRST HATCH!

[maijuub92]

I have since added another light bulb, pc fan, a few mason jars of water, and I put the eggs in the top part of a 18 egg carton, with the bottom pert turned upside down underneath to raise the eggs up. I have already set them. Alsi the bator is outside in our shed. Oh also there are three breathing holes near the top on one side with three more near the opposite bottom. I will take some more current pics when I turn again around 3pm

All thoughts will be very much appreciated.

Does your shed temp stay stable? Most incubators, even with a thermostat, can't keep up with big environmental temp fluctuations. It might do better if you can move it into your house. You'll also be able to monitor it better and catch any spikes or drops before they reach the danger zone. Happy hatching.

I wish I could bring it in. But I was told that if I don't want to cause any arguments then it needs to stay outside. Because it a "fire hazzard" even though I made it with a LOT of consideration and research. But it bein out there is part of my eggxiety. Its got 40-50% humidity, and from when I'm checking on it the temps go from 98-101º. And it doesn't stay low or high for very long, so I was thinking that the eggs wouldn't cool down or heat up to much in that short of time. I check frequently around sundown and sunup. Bur I also handturn them so that's part of it too.
